    Its a chip with a cable coming off that has different positions I can flip between. Right now the "0" position is pump gas and the "1" position is for when I add 1 can of torco to a full tank of 91 octane which gives me close to 100 octane. The "6" position is to disable my car. "2", "3", "4" and "5" are unassigned, I dont know if there is another kill switch in any of those or not. So I take it that means I have a chip and not a programmer. I have been saying I have a SCT tuner, does the word "tuner" mean the same thing as "chip" or does it mean something else? Is a programer better then a chip?

    A 32oz can of toroc to a full tank will not give you 100 octane. More like 94.

    Tuner is used to flash the cars computer. Sort of like adding data to a hard drive.

    A Chip plugs into the cars computer port.

    They both accomplish the same things using different methods.

    bad benttire... i thought u were better at math than that. more like 97.875 assumingu start off with 91 octane.

    the formula would assume that 1 can of torco would make 10 gallons of 93 octane raise to 104 octane. Assuming that a mustang tank is 16 gallons, that 1 can would raise the gas 6.875 octane points. making a 91 octane 97.875.

    Or else if u wanna be more correct the 03/04 cobras have a capacity of 15.70 gallons, raising the gas approximately 7.01 octane. He would get about 98.007 octane starting at 91. srry i like math....

    Advanced Calculus and Aerodynamics are the highest I have taken with a poor result of A and A. What is your math education resume?

    Back to the subject

    Here is a test on 10 gallons of 91 octane = 96.5
    http://www.highperformancestangs.com...ighlight=torco

    KB and RWTD have done paid lab testing on the product and you can research it all on Modular Fords. The max that they got out of torco regardless of concentration is 101.

    I know what the torco site advertises, but real lab testing from a 3rd party yields different results.

    Ya, I actually called Torco when I first started using there product just to make sure I was doing everything correctly and when they figured it out they said I would be making right about 98 octane with one full can added to a full tank of fuel.

    They can claim all they want, but the lab tests by a 3rd party don't lie. 91 octane full tank with a 32oz can of torco is no where near 98 octane.

    A full can with 10 gallons only nets 96.5.

    It is not pointless. If you are running a 100 octane tune on a full tank of gas with 32oz of torco you are looking for trouble.

    It is about correcting the mis information about the product that resides on the internet.

    Are you so sure that your problem didn't occur from having inadequate octane for timing?
