Looking for some good octane booster to run daily in my turbo ta. 100 octane is over 5 a gallon pretty expensive. Do you guys recommend octane booster or a gallon or so of 100 and fill the rest 91?

 

I just run shell v-power

 

not using octane booster fuel additive, using two stages of meth injection, snow performance

 

The snow kit is my next step. They offer two different setups anyone know which is best?

 

I run a snow kit also with pump gas

 

Relating to the TC's question, would it benefit in any way to run meth & 93 octane, be tuned for that, AND run a bottle of mild booster with each tank of gas?

 

Ive always herd octane booster that you buy at stores duznt do anything but who knows

 

Torco works good.

 

Ditto. Full can with every 93octane fill-up = 97-98octane. I like to play it safe, and it's not that expensive considering I only fill up twice a month at most.

 

^ But you're tuned for 93, right? Any alky injection?

 

No alky, and yes tuned for 93. I am thinking of switching to an alky setup using the windshield washer resivoir though.

 

has anyone tested with the torco before and after??Where do you buy the stuff?

 

You can also mix Zylene and / or Toulene into your gas. I think it's available at Home Depot. It's the active ingrediant in paint thinner I think. Research it, it works very well as both an octane booster and increases your fuel economy.

 

Torco accelerator here...2 quarts to bou 7-8 gallons 93..I bought it in a 5 gal pail and is much cheaper this way...since this is my play toy ride the little extra cost is worth it to me...

ran 20psi on the dyno with 20 deg timing on this mix at 800.6 rwhp...Now on the stret or track I am going to limit to abou 17-18 psi on this mix due to the extra load.

And my figures came from a member of corvetteforum who had the stuff lab tested before he started using it on his blown c5

 

I think pepboys and autozone has it too. Maybe advance auto as well.
