I was looking around on DSMtuners.com and found a few articles on making home-made 116 octane race gas. It seems that if you mix 1 part toluene(industrial cleaner) to 9 parts 91 octane gasoline it will yield a 116 octane mix. I was wondering if anybody had tried this? I was thinking about testing it out for the 30th.
Heres one of the articles. There are a few more, but this one seems to be the best. http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=96893 -------------------- 2003 Mustang GT

QUOTE (mark95turbo @ Apr 27 2004, 04:27 PM) Great link ICGerms!  Yeah, I actually found quite a bit of info. on raising your octane level. Now, the question that I have is: Does higher octane actually increase HP (I doubt it), or does it simply allow you to run higher boost w/o knocking (more likely)? I believe that it has more to do with the latter, however, some people have said (guys in Australia, I think) that there was a noticeable gain from running higher octane. Maybe they were getting timing retard from knock w/the lower octane and this diminished once they increased the octane of their fuel...I don't know. Anyway, I have decided to just mix 99 octane with my normal 93 octane on race days...I'm not getting any significant knock at 22psi, but a little higher octane certainly can't hurt.
