im glad you find that funny, even considering that there is no relation in situations by a longshot!!! 100 lbs of grease wont make the car run any different then little grease...... more octane did make a difference.... it sure as hell didnt add 1200 hp, but it made it run aloooottt smoother.. nice try tho
adding higher octane lets you run more timing... more timing equals more power..... but like i said, for the price its not even worth it.... i wanted to see how the car would run and it ran greaT!
90lxcoupe, didn't you know that running 117 octane race fuel in a tired 175 horsepower 5.0 is good for a neck snapping 500 lb-ft of torque and nearly 600 horsepower? The seat of the pants dyno never lies!
To the OP: The icing on the cake would be if you made a youtube video dumping paint thinner into your gas tank, and then do a one tire fire burnout and speed off with your muffler sparking against the pavement. I'd pay to see that.
Hey I wasn't tryin to make you look bad. See, it was the way you worded it. You DIDN'T say $6.36 when divided from the cost of a $350 55 gallon drum. If you would have said that at first, I wouldn't have questioned the chemical used vs price per gallon. thats why I "thought" you used actual paint thinner, and thought you got regular paint thinner confused with actual toluene. My bad, sorry if you thought I was making you look like an ass. Don't get all hyped up.
And theres nothing wrong with tossing in some high octane fuell. For the average person, it wouldn't make any difference. Yes, you do get a little more power out of it when you bump the timing up. I'm not sure how much, and I'm also not sure if the cost factor per gallon would make it worth it.
I think you guys shoud cut him some slack here. You have ridiculed him from his writing skills to the topic at hand. Not giving a very good impression of what SN should be. Just giving a reason for someone to leave here and go somepace else. This isn't some ricer, just another fellow stang owner. And, nothing wrong with experimenting with different fuels. I have done it numerous times. I am guilty of trying to run my car off at least a dozen different chemicals. All for either better gas mileage, a little more power, or less exhaust fumes. But hell, now that I seen this, I'd be damned if I wanted to share the true results of all of those little experiments in here.
No need to lock thread. I have apologized if he took offence to anything I said. Dont know about the rest of you.
no i didnt blow my engine up and yes i know what i dump in my gas tank.. especially when the can says TOLUENE in monster sized letters going across it....... and yes it is 6.36 a gallon..... 350 dollars a drum divided by 55 comes out to 6.36 a gallon doesnt it???? you are right though.. IF YOU buy it by the gallon , it is 15 bucks..... just because i paid 6.36 a gallon for it, doesnt mean that i am dumping something ELSE into my tank. I told everyone im running a paint thinner SPECIFICALLY toluene. I didnt go to a store and find the cheapest paint thinner and put that in my tank. I simply bought toluene because its toluene, which is what i wanted to dump in my tankk.. you made it out to sound like im some moron who went into a hardware store and found the cheapest pain t thinner not caring about whats in it. it said toluene on the can and that is what i bought.... the reason i bought a drum is because i have a few friends, one with a turbo fox.. and the other with an evo who require high octanne...... i put it in my car one time just to see how it would effect it, which it did make it run quite better, not enough to constantly run it, because i dont need it..... and for eveyone else questioning why i did it and for what reason, and i dont need it, read my first post.... it was a one time thing. Maybe when i do my blower setup, ill resort to it, but i dont need to run straight toluene like i did, because there is no benefit.... some people gotta easeeeeeee off... i put it in my car because i wanted to... the reason is as simple as that... it does run alot smoother then 92 and maybe eventually i will use more......
i had a few cans laying around the house which is what i first put in my car.... and i am calling it paint thinner because right under it says TOLUENE in big letters, it says, disolves paint, grease, grime etc etc etc, which is why i called it a paint thinner....
and here is where i bought it that cheap.. Nelson Toluene - 55 Gallon Drum: Nelson Paint

i regularly put 3-4 gallons of e85 in my 98, and it runs smoother, but its only 2.25 a gallon and 105 octane.. hell cam2 is 110oc and is only 5 bux a gallon here..
plus your supposed to mix xylene with a little ATF to keep it lubeored

That might be damaging your fuel system and possibly creating a lean condition, fyi.
I think in order to affectively run e85 you will need to change all your gaskets and o-rings on the fuel system if i'm not mistaken? I'm planning to go with an ON 3 performance turbo on my stock setup and i want to switch to e85
I have read about guys doing it without changing anything and have been runnin it for a long time. I dont think its any more corrosive then race fuel is. The problem with e85 is that unless you buy it from VP you dont really know what your getting, but i guess you could say the same about pump gas. I dont have any expierience with e85 just read alot about it.
