TORCO Unleaded Accelerator Octane Booster... How many people have used this stuff??

[eabrillon1978]

Trying to find an alternative to buying race fuel and mixing it with 91. I've been reading some of the forums about this stuff. If you read the link, you'll see that they did a lab test with this stuff. Mixing 10 gallons of 91 and a quart of the octane booster gave them 96.5 octane. It's an old post from corvette forum.

Purchased a can of this a couple of days ago from Yearwood. Just curious if anyone has tried this out.

Lemme here some of your thoughts on this stuff and what else are you using???

Do you think this stuff will mess up your motor?

How many of you mix in E-85? What ratio are you using?

sounds like a beast. Do u have access to 93/94 or are you in an area with only 91?

Check out some info in the following threads:

Try toluene. There were some threads about using it to boost octane a while back.

Here's some info from the 4th link Dom426 posted. Dan at DC Performance recommended 100 mix vs. Torco, here's a post from one of the SoCal guys


Not crazy about Torco as a fuel additive as it leaves reddish brown deposits on your spark plugs, valves and in the combustion chamber.
Better to mix your 93 with a quality 100 octane pump gas.
DC Performance can provide you with input on this subject.
