The funny part is that none of you guys know anything about gas or tune. The more that I read the more obvious it is.

Funny stuff.

I have mine tuned to run a point rich, it burned a Head Gasket cause it was lean. And the Pistons showed it by the burn pattern. I run 93 cause I am high-compression, and I don't want any problems with anything internally, and like stated before, it burns slower, so the Computer can adjust the Timing easier.

I dug this back up because I thought that it was correct to point out the good that Torco does for our sport and our community.

Good Luck,

I had limited success with the addative. I blame the plugs I chose not the addative though.
