dude, just go to home depot. Buy a 1 gallon container of Xylene. Its like paint thinner. Put it in your gas tank and mix in 7+ gallons of 91 octain. The less 91 octaine the higher ur octaine will be. But make sure u have atleast 7 gallons of 91 or the xylene might be too harch on your rubber tubes. Its safe, cheap and VERY effective. Its 10 bucks for a gallon of xylene. 1 gallon of xylene in 7 gallons of 91 is about 103 octain. I think xylene is about 120 octaine.

yeah im sure. Ive done it myself a bunch of times and i checked with a group of other people too. Its perfectly safe as long as u have atleast 7 gallons of 91 for every gallon of xylene. U can also use taulene but i havnt been able to find that stuff. Xylene works fine. the container it comes in it a piece of crap when it comes to pouring the xulene out, so u might want to get a 2 liter bottle of pepsi or sumthing, cut out the back, and use the top as a funnel to pour it into your gas tank. If it touches your cars paint, just be sure to hose that par of the car off when your done pouring the xylene in. Ive boosted to 24 lbs of boost using that method on the stock turbo. But i hear the stock turbo is only really affective up to 21 lbs, over that the air is too hot to make gains. So go for it. Oh btw, the car runs SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo smooth on this stuff.

wow im happy to hear the smooooth part......10 bucks for xylene? how many gallons is xylene in the container you buy? does it burn too fast? how many miles do you get when you fill the car with 7 gallons of 91 oct, and the 6 gals of xylene?

I got a race gas network credit card. There's various fueling stations throughout the US. The closest one to me is in Santa Fe Springs.

If anyone needs some C16, I've got five gallons. I bought it last week. I bought it for my Porsche, but wont be needing it for awhile.

Xylene is 117 octane and on gallon of xylene with 7 gallons of 91 is 94.5 octane, a hell of alot lower then what your claiming. Xylene is safe to mix with gasoline up until about 1:2 so you couldin theory put 4 gallons of xylene in your tank if you top it off. Its not very cost effective though.

Xylene has the benefit of of being non-leaded, but its still twice as expensive as 110 octane race fuel.

In San Diego I know at least 3 gas stations that sell 110 octane for 4.95/gallon from a pump.

In Rialto you can buy vp103 at Merit Oil for about $5.00 gallon. It's unleaded and I have used it on and off two gallons 103 mixed with ten of 91. More often I have used Xylene. One gallon with 11 to 12 of 91. This produces about 93 and improves smoothness and mileage by about 5%. It is cheaper to buy the Xylene at Sherman Williams Paint Stores (under $7.00 per gallon) but I have used Home Depot in a pinch.

Bonita Canyon Dr and Prairie Rd...just off of MacArthur...in the Vons Pavillions shopping center...

Running a 93-94 blend is a good call with the hot weather coming....and of course the corresponding Vegas runs :twisted:
