Go to corvettekillstories.com and send a PM to JBSBLOWNC5. Joel is a good guy and can probably get you a better price, he sells it.

We use and sell the Torco octane booster, and it works very well. Klotz also sells an octane booster that we have found to work very well. Bob

That is good stuff. Great for the blower cars and flip switches. We tuned some timing in and gave it a position on the switch... dump that stuff in and go like hell at the track. Unlike the crap the sell at the autoparts store, this really is octane boost. If you run it, make sure you have a tune for it. In other words don't expect just to dump it in a car tuned for 93 octane and expect to gain power. More octane and no increase in timing = less horsepower. My blower car lost 60 rwhp just by running race fuel and not increasing timing. I'm sure you know this but I see a lot of people making this common mistake.
