good octane booster?

[Mr. Rustypwnz]

I just filled my hatch up with 87(only thing anybody has) and the cars running almost 11.1:1 comp, and wont hardly run, I used the last bit of my 93 oct. and it ran pretty well, 87 starts mixing in and bam, no balls...

so I dont want to get some **** with crap in it and do nothing for me, I would get some torco, but it wont be here for a couple days and I have to drive alot tomorrow, so whats good and works?

I really dont feel like blowing a head gasket because of this....

thanks josh

Toulene. You can get it from a paint supply store.

i think it's called octane 108 or turbo 108, some of the commercial accts at my store like it. they use it in their "race" cars.

 

[Mr. Rustypwnz]

I dont have any of that around here, **** it ill just get some lucas..... it should bump me to around 91 since I had it mixed 87/93 gas, so it should be good, im like at 9deg timing right now and it sucks and still knocks... damn

geez where are you at? there aren't any autozone's around?

Anything from auto stores is worthless. I did tons of research on this. The best thing you can do is to call Torco and they can ship you somthing called unleaded accellerator. Also on the website is all the specs. It is the only thing that will really raise octane enough to be effective. We actually proved that it will stop detonation, on my buddies 1st. gen. lightning.

use this. my buddy runs it in his 13.5:1 compression engine mixed with 93. Heard its awesome

 

[Mr. Rustypwnz]

I got some lucas its a little better now, at least it runs at like 10deg with no detonation now lol

I NEED to go to tallahassee and get some 100 oct sonoco, that would be tits...

You could also use Xylene... It's found in the paint section of your local home depot or lowes. Also any Sherwin Williams and it's been used in the street racing scene around here for years.

It's 116 to 117 octane by itself so if you do a 1gal (93 octane gas) to 1gal (of xylene) you'll get 104.5 octane (93+116=209 divided by 2 = 104.5)

or you could do :

10 gallons of 93 (10x93=930)
3.5 gallons of xylene (3.5x117=409.5)
930+409.5=1339.5 divided by 13.5 gallon blend total = 99.22 octane

Have had great luck with it in grand nationals, syclones and typhoons before alky injection kits became affordable. I personally used to add a little marval mystery to the mix just for piece of mind but it's said to be not needed.

Just be careful when mixing it because if you get it anywhere on your paint your screwed. treat it as a toxic substance when mixing don't just dump it in because you don't want no splashing

What we did was use a transmission funnel to pour it in the tank. Pour with the spout positioned at the TOP of the pail or container so that you don't get the "gulp" effect when pouring. This method greatly limits any splashing or spillage.
