Race fuel additives
Has anyone used Klotz, Torco and other brand race fuel concentrates, and additives in there FI setup. I'm wondering if it's more practical to go this route rather than finding race gas.

Re: Race fuel additives (sc4dr)
You can go to your paint store and go get some toulene. Or check around and see if you can get the e85 gas in your area. Thats like 110 octane. Just don't run it consistantly just run it when you go to the track (make sure you have a tune for this fuel too). Our cars are not made for it and if you use it all the time it will corrode your fuel system.

I just ordered a case of Torco unleaded accelerator. It's supposed to make 93 octane 104, with one 32 0z. bottle.(treats 10 gallons)

Re: Race fuel additives
I have been using the Torco Accelerator with my H22 turbo setup. The best fuel we can get here in St. John's, NL, Canada is 91 at the pump, and that's 10% methenol, so its not as good as the 91 you can get at better gas stations in the US like Shell for example. I liked it so much that I became an authorized dealer for Torco products here, and so far so good. I too would like to see some more Tuners testing its limits on the Dynos with various cars like we drive on the street so it will give us an idea of what its true capabilities are. My car made 373HP, and 360TQ at 17psi on a local Dyno Dynamics Dyno here which is the ONLY Dyno we have available to us with NO trained professionals to tune our cars, so I went a little higher on the mix to 100oct as a safety measure to not do any damage from detonation, but I never had any problems with detonation, and I did have some ignition timing issues.
