Octane Booster

[99_venom]

Torco works great. I use it in the lightning with 20 degrees and 17# of boost. Only problem is it turns your plugs brown and makes it hard to read them for pinging or AF.

I buy it by the 5 gal can. The last one I bought was $185.00.

What is the procedure to up the octane in a full tank of 91? How do you know how much to mix in? I guess my real question is how long will 5 gallons of it last you?

Below are the results of mixing 32oz with 10 gallons on 91 octane gas. If you mix a full 32oz can with a tank of 91 octane you are getting around 93-94. If you mix it with 5 gallons of 91 octane you are getting 100+ octane.

I get my torco here

At the track I use 109 octane race gas. I use the torco on the street.

Hope this helps.

Also, race fuels will often have a very different stoich point compared to pump gas. For example, VP 109UL has a stoich point in the 13s, so you need quite a bit more of it to get the same a/f ratio as pump gas.

So in plane english you are saying you need to run a richer MAF Transfer on race gas compared to a street tune?

Well, you need to change the stoich point in the tuning software. Some will let you do this, but in some you may need to adjust the base fuel table or wot multiplier. Your maf xfer should be correct so you don't want to go and make it inaccurate (and make load inaccurate).

That's what I like to see, someone giving out excellent information.

I haven't tried this personaly, but it's supposed to be a great product.
It's called Octanium, new to the market. Developed and sold through MTI out of Houston, TX.
They claim that 1 bottle treat up to 15 gallons, and will take a tank of 93 octane to over 100 octane
