not sure if you'll see any gains on a stock tune, but I did use it with the jb4 and saw some gains. while it wasn't as much as straight 100 octane, it was somewhat close. this was measured on a drag strip Where with 100 octane I pulled 12.5 and with torco I pulled a 12.7. straight 91 octane with map 1 got me a 12.9

Its quite a bit cheaper than that by the 6 pack at Amazon, particularly if you have free shipping with Amazon prime. I've not actually used it in my 135, but i do have another vehicle with a 12.5 compression ratio that it is definately effective in. I just assumed that it wouldn't do anything in the 135 designed for street gas but now I may have to try it.

Adding more octane to a car that's stock tuned for 93 octane will net you no more power than 93 octane. |

Ive used torco a LOT on my previous cars and have had outstanding results. I would only put it in a stock car if I was maybe going to do like an all day track event or something... but once youre tuned with it is when it shines... |

Also I wouldn't use this product regularly. Maybe once a month or something like that. The main ingredient in Torco and other octane boosters is MMT or Methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl.
This substance is know to really foul up your plugs, O2 sensors, and cats and who knows what else. http://www.classictruckshop.com/club...park/plugs.htm http://www.meca.org/galleries/defaul.../Schindler.pdf |

Some stock cars, (Like my 2011 5.0 Ford Mustang) had an adaptive ECU. (our cars do not...) I could, from the factory, run anything from 87-93 octane.... and it would adapt. Tuners quickly found out that it also adapts very well to race fuel... and torco. So cars that have adaptive ECU's like the 5.0... will... do very well on a "stock" tune. But for our cars, I still stick with the advice I gave above.
