Re: Octane boost
Torco makes a octane booster that actually does what it claims, Eikert speaks highly of it, I ran it im my boat all year, 1 qrt. to 20 gallions of 93 takes it to 98, 1qrt. to 15 gal takes to 101, 1qrt to 10 gal makes it 104, also has lead in it!

Re: Octane boost
There's an old thread her by Mcollinstn, about octane boosters. If I remember correctly, it's just Toulene that you can buy by the gallon at Home Depot. Do a search on Toulene, and you should find it. It's a very informative post, by the smartest man ever on Oso!

The Torco also works well for us ,we mix 5 gallons to 200+ gallons of 93 and our plugs always look great!
We are currently adding the new Keith Eichart copper core inner coolers to my Cat's blown 565ci motors in hopes of running straight 93 this spring.
I am hoping they work, because adding volatile additives every weekend not only gets old, but when splashed raises hell and stains your gel coat.

Re: Octane boost
Dennis, Citco 110 leaded in the barrel with 93 mix should do. I know storage will be a concern but its the best way. I am getting a tank and pump for my truck to pump directly to the boat. You can pump into 5 gallon cans. Maybe work out something with a local service station.
