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

That article also said that the higher octane burns hotter which can cause quicker turbo spool by the kenetic energy caused by the hotter combusion. I'm not sure how much spool difference this makes for our normally daily driven cars at relatively low boost levels (compared to 20PSI and up track monsters), but squeezing everything out of these cars is what owning a DSM is all about.
