I bought this car last week and the previous owner has been running the car on 93 octane with half a 32 ounce bottle of Torco to a full tank. I also ran it for the last tank and now have to order another couple of bottles.
The stuff is pretty expensive and it is a bit of a hassle to order it everytime you fill up. I have a fuel station that has 110 race fuel for around $5 a gallon just down the street.
The car was just tuned at Dynospeed in Memphis and made 585 to the ground on 16.9 lbs. of boost, on a conservative tune ( I had them run the stock pulley on the crank to get the boost down from about 19 just to be safe). I talked to the tuner and he said he would recommend running the Torco as a safety net, just incase I got a bad tank of gas.
The car is not a daily driver just a weekend cruiser. I don't plain on beating the absolute dog s*%t out of it either. So should I just run the 93 octane and add a couple gallons of 110? Also how much 110 should be added to a tank? This may be a dumb questions but it would be a lot easier than ordering Torco.
Here is a run down of the motor:
Kenne Bell 2.6H @17psi
Kenne Bell BAP
Kenne Bell Big Oval TB
60# Injectors
JLT CAI
SCT BA-2600 Mass Air
LFP Lower pulley kit(stock ring)
Billet Flow 100mm snub Idler
Billet Flow (3) 92mm idlers
Kenne Bell 3.5", 3.25", 3" pulley
LFP Heat Exchanger
LFP Radiator Resovoir
LFP Supercharger Resovoir
BBK chrome long tube headers
BBK shorty H-pipe(no cats)
Mac Stainless Catback
Thanks in advance for the all your help.
