Annu,

I think you should let one of your wives drive. Might be cheaper... :p

If I were you I'd send the pcm back to Dan, and have him change it to work on our shitty 91 octane gas. Then save all that extra money up to buy more mods.

Annu, that sounds like a blast :rock:

All except the $190 :D That is a lot of lap dances you are giving away ;)
 
Torco makes an accelerator, its far cheaper than the fuel... and very close to race fuels. I just talked to them on the phone and here is what they provided to me:


When mixed with 91 Octane you get:


1 qt to 20gal = 96 octane
1 qt to 15 = 98 octane
1 qt to 10 = 102 octane
1 qt to 5 = 104 octane

He made to note ITS NOT a octane boost, its the same base chemicals they place in race fuels, has lubes, etc..

Cost is $19.95 / qt or $148.60 for 5 gallon pail, which makes it $7.43 a qt.

If you mix with 93 octane, just add 2 more points to those above numbers.

Awdisuzu uses this stuff....reallly....really...works....:rock:
 
I Use Torco Al the time too! But when I make More In My Business I fill up with 100 Octane everyweek:rock: :rock My daily driver is a 1998 Dodge ram. For the weekend Viper and Mercedes S600
 
Tony I have used Torco, you will be fine it is a good product.

Bill.
 
yes, I do use torco but only in the srt-10 and only because it's got a 93 tune.

I would go for race gas for a engine needing 110+ octaine. you can get it shipped in 55 gal containers.

i know the higher oct. burns hotter but does it make your motor run hotter?:dontknow:

Why do you think that Octane makes it run hotter?

Octane is a measurement of the ability of the fuel to not detonate. Octane by it's self does not add hp. There is no added BTU's in octane.

on the other site i was told that higher octane #'s burns hotter......:dontknow:........why does every one want higher octane if it does not add H P?
 
Ok I am back, and the only thing we have assertained is Annu needs another tune:D

Nowwhat and Begood, is it as good as VP?

I have a ton of faith in VP ,used it for 10 years or so, I know the torco will probably work, just want to make sure the specifics of it are the same as the C-16
