Here is the blend chart....

It would take more than a can to a tank to even get close to those numbers. A lot of us that run it do not think it will ever get that high in octane, and most of us target 100 octane as the high end on the mix.

This is also what I have heard. Theres an actual test somewhere out there on the net that showed Torco only adding a tiny bit to the octane. I wouldnt chance it with it when you can easily just buy some 110 Sunoco octane and be done with it & know exactly what your getting.

While Torco doesn't compare to race fuel, it does work and is perfect for situations like this and cars like Marks! It's a street car with conservative tuning, not a race car on the ragged edge! The extra timing will bump his dyno numbers and give him and extra kick in the butt at the track, the Torco is just a safety net. Problem with 110 and many of the other fuels out there is they are leaded fuel which is not good for the o2 sensors. I haven't checked in a while, but VP used to make the highest unleaded race fuel on the market, MS 109. Used it my old cobra, good stuff! The other thing with race fuel is that there is such a thing as being over octaned, it will cost you power and et...

The best no lead we can get easily in this area is VP Street Blaze 100.

If you mix Torco to that target and buy in 5 gallon cans you are cheaper than buying the Street blaze (or use quarts as needed on rarer occasions).

It works out well for me as I really do drive my car a lot and would need to drive out the race gas and always have some unknown ratio when I added. With Torco, I top off the tank with pump gas on race day and add Torco as needed. I have Torco here in a 5 gallon pour jug and use a measured jar to get the ratio pretty close.

As Mike said, it works for sure. I have knock data with and without Torco that supports the 100 octane mix (1 quart / 8 gallons of 93 versus 100 octane no lead). Both of those support that it IS mixed at 100 octane equivalent. I just think it adds too much to the fuel and slows the flame front worse than race gas when you try to go to the higher octanes.

I ordered a less aggressive mufflers yesterday! This is WAY to loud for me! Most of these revs were between 3000 - 4000

All that power and you want it to sound like an electric car

**32valve** · 12-08-2009, 10:30 PM

I think it sounds good. But if you think it's too loud that can only mean one thing...............Your getting "OLD".......LOL
Try you factory mufflers back on. I think you'll find them more pleasing now, and they'll sound alot better than before.

Its hard to be stealthy in a GT500. What mufflers are you using to tone it down?

:) http://www.shelbyperformanceparts.co...20Exhaust.aspx This is a hell of a deal!

**Slow01GT** · 12-08-2009, 11:52 PM

That should sound pretty good

**scorpio333** · 12-09-2009, 02:13 PM

Which mufflers were you running in the vid?

FRPP 5GT which with stock manifolds are IMO the best sound exhaust on GT500 ... well maybe 2nd best next to the KR's.

Grabbers KR's

Thats a pretty neat video, sounds good too.

**GOT SVT** · 12-10-2009, 10:55 AM

hey 40th

did you or steph fall off the driveway after taking the video of your exhaust?

**CollinsPC** · 12-11-2009, 10:11 AM

I'll be down to take a ride in the spring!!

I see you hit the mark you were shooting for when we were talking. I think the powder coating on the tank added 10 to 15 HP

Looking and sounding GREAT!!!!!

If that's the case, I need you to PC my rad tank as well! You can pick it up when you come down for a ride in the spring!

Might be to many extra Horses if we do that

. If your putting the car away for the winter I could to the tank now.

My wife was tired of cleaning up my drool after the last time seeing your car. She gets tired of my Mustang stories and I wants........
