Default Has anyone used Toluene to boost octane

I used one gallon of toluene and a small amount of two cycle oil mix to eight gallons of gas. The two stroke oil would be the same amount normally mixed with one gallon of gas. My question is would the toluene or the two stroke oil cause my car to run rich at the drags? A friend could see black smoke comming from the rear of the car in the top 1/3 of first and some in second.

Why not just buy Sunoco 100 octane? It's been available at every track I've ever been too.

check www.turbobuick.com alot of those guys use it, i dont remember the perportion, but they also use a 1-2 oz of marvel mystery oil to put the lubrication back in the gasoline that the toulene takes out. I think its something like 3 galons of gas to 1 galon of toulene
