i was talking to this guy that did drag racing in his younger years and he said that he use to cut a moth ball in half. fill up the tank with pump gas and put in a half ball per tank. he said it'd raise the octane from 90 whatever to well over 100.
anyone hear of that? -------------------- it's not a dsm unless it's leaking something

I've been told for years that if you really want to screw someone's car up, you put a couple of moth balls in the tank. Engine will auto-rev to redline and seize. More than likely urban myth since increasing octane decreases volatility. But at any rate, I've heard that the little grandma-smelling orbs will up your octane.
