Never even heard of it before.

It doesn't say on the pump, but I think it's either 100 or 110. Trying to verify that now. It was $7.49/gallon.

 

[livid_wrx_]

What station was it?

 

[Alin]

Wouldnt it be worthless if youre tuned for 93 though?

 

[Grinder34]

is it leaded?

If it was 100 it was unleaded. If it was 110 it was leaded. But I doubt it was the 100, because that states its street legal.

Dont do leaded.

110 Octane Rating.

I'd be worried about blowing my engine if I was you. Haha.

It's at the Valero station on the corner of Ford and Haggerty in Canton, MI. I just looked up Turbo Blue and it looks like the "Turbo Blue Unleaded" which was on the pump sticker, is 100 octane.

I don't expect to make any more power because I'm tuned for 93, but I thought a few gallons might give me a bit of added protection in case I do anything retarded like slam the rev limiter accidentally or have a methanol system failure during the race.

I don't think I trust the bottled octane boosters at the parts store.

 

[Batmobile_Engage]

It was unleaded for sure. I checked for that before even trying my credit card.

Yeah I don't trust those either, I'd stay on the sideof caution if were you. Do so me more research before putting it in your car.

Torco is the only octane booster that I know actually does something

 

[Batmobile_Engage]

^ I'm guessing it's full of Toluene?

 

[Spamby]

Methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl or MMT IIRC ?

Shit, toluene works too!

 

[Spamby]

Or xylene

 

[Batmobile_Engage]

Is Torco available off the shelf in parts stores? I might call around and ask this afternoon.

 

[Batmobile_Engage]

Where the hell do I get a bottle of Toluene? :lol: I know that's a tried and true method.

 

[Spamby]

I've only gotten torco from Amazon. Lol
No stores here carry it, at least the accelerator.
Toluene or xylene can be had at paint stores.
Be careful because many states regulate this shit because it is an ingredient in making meth. You almost certainly will not be able to buy in larger quantities unless your a legit business.

 

[Batmobile_Engage]

Good call, Spamby. I was looking around online and it seems like Home Depot might
have toluene, but more likely have xylene on the shelves. I'm gonna see if I can get
my girlfriend to stop by Home Depot on the way home. :lol:

 

[ZackUSAF82]

Lol, sure make your gf look like the one that's cooking up some meth...I'm sure she's going to love you for that.
