Torco... Anyone Use it?????/
wont do anything lol. there is something they sell at oreillys that does work, forgot the name but its the only one they sell at oreilly's that works. the rest are bs. never heard of torco. most octane boosters say they raise your octane so many points, well 10 points = 1 so most only will raise you to like 94 octane. The one im talking about raises you about 7 numbers.

Torco I have read is the only one that does work, and the others all dont work....
I had seen someone talking about it before, but cannot find the post on what they had said about it.
I can just use race gas... But I need 104 unleaded... and alot of places been carrying 109 leaded, and 114 leaded.....

too many mixed reviews...
I been reading the reviews.. but I was looking for someone with 1st hand experience..
But from what I am reading, it will move 93 octane up to best of 98...
Not really worth 15 dollar a bottle in my eyes... I would rather just get 15 dollar worth of race fuel and be good with that....

Ran Octanium in my girlfriends Z06 and we gained 2 mph in the 1/4.
119mph to 121mph
We have gone to the track plenty of times and never got over 120 in her car.
Cam only (G1) with exhaust.
Could be a fluke? Not sure but I was pretty skeptical of these type of things but it proved me wrong and I would buy it again.

I have heard good things about Torco and Octanium. All others are pretty much Snake Oil as proven by one of the major magazines (Hot Rod? Popular Mechanics? can't remember exactly) a few years ago. They tested a whole bunch of brands and the results ranged from very modest octane increases (like 1-2 points) to absolutely nothing. NONE of them lived up to the advertising.
Anyway, Torco and Octanium are evidently the only ones that really work, at least from what I have heard. Have not tried either because my local stores don't stock them, only the useless ones.

I did not know they had the 104..
I am wanting a little race gas for Saturday Redline racing...
If I get the 125 hitting good in 1st gear, then going to practice with 150 in 1st gear...
I want to kill my best 2.0 60ft... LOL.. ******* dumb.. LOL
and that is no juice for that 60ft... I have yet to spray at the track in 1sst.
well I will have to stop on by there and get some on Friday..

LOL... coming to pieces.. I dont beat it really... LOL
I am racing this weekend.. So gotta have it ready..
Plus it is low mileage still....... The engine is still running good..
I change the oil once a month, or after racing.. whichever comes 1st.
The oil is usually still pretty good looking, and not all black.
so I should still be ok...

well I beat the car, but not to an extent..
When I start spraying the 200shot, then I will consider that a full beating.
LOL
but yeah I know what you mean that either way I am beating it by racing it and spraying it..
So I should probably stop spraying and get a turbo...
