Default Torco race fuel concentrate?

Anyone ever use this stuff?

http://www.torcoracefuels.com/catalo...products_id=82

Tryoing to decide final compression ratio for new setup.

I do not have easy access to race fuel. If I go high compression I will need to use this stuff or by drums of VP fuel. I like this approach as I can mix when needed.

According to torco I can get 107 with 32 OZ of this mixed with 6 gal of 93.

I've been curious about this stuff as well. If I go FI, I may need to use it as we only have 91oct in this area.

I know jbsblownc5 on here is a distributor for them. He's got a 600+rwhp vette that he hammers on pretty regularly, so you may want to look him up.

We use and sell the Torco octane booster, and the stuff works very well. I have several customers who have been so impressed with the Torco booster, that they quit buying race gas. Bob

The Qts. are $16.50 ea. A case consist of 6 cans, and we sell a case at $15.50 each. Torco recently had a price hike, which is why the prices are higher than what they use to be. I haven't checked yet on the price of a 5 gal container, I've never sold it that way. Bob

torco is some good stuff, they have a good product. its not like the other octane boosters that only push up gas by a couple of tenths.

Sounds like I need to get some of this. I will be at 13:1 with the new motor. I am thinking that this would be good to have around as well as a drum of VP C10.

I used this stuff in my SRT-4, it worked very well as a 100 octane substitute for my Mopar Stage 3 kit. I had to mix it a little stronger than recommended because I didn't have access to 93 octane, only 91. The only drawback is the reddish tint left on the plugs if you use it a lot.

From the bottle:

97 octane=20 gallons 93 + (1) 32oz bottle
104 octane=10 gallons 93 + 32oz bottle
107 octane=5 gallons 93 + 32oz bottle
