For "Off Road Use Only" you can still buy REAL T.E.L. from Kemco Oil in Utah (801-768-4408). Use it too often and goodbye cats and O2's. It's the real deal and still the best, otherwise, stick with Torco.

I use Kemco in my W109 from time to time as it has about a 12.75 to 1 CR.

Torco does work, there is no question. I used it on my supercharged mustang.

Quote: The octane booster you get at the parts store, even the "off road only" marketing BS stuff that raises your octane "4 points" or "8 points" or whatever.... What they mean is your 93 octane becomes 93.4 or 93.8 True story.
^^^^^100% CORRECT INFO.

Quote: its not an octane booster rather a fuel additive. read the can. and for me if its good enough for TTM its good enough for me!


Just wait until you try it!

(1) 10oz can of Torco Accelerator mixed with 5 gallons of 93 will yield you an octane rating of 102.

Quote: Just sharing a tip here, every other friday or so I stop by DynoComp in Scottsdale AZ and get 3 or 4 gallons of 109 and mix it with my full tank. While I haven't dyno'd my car with it, feels like it easily adds 50 more HP. This could be my imagination or reality, not sure but it's a fun, "Treat" I do for myself every once and while.

If you never fed your, "Beast" 109 octane gas, do it once and you will be amazed!

Tomorrow I'll do a 0-150MPH romp in .6 of a mile show you the ferocity this unleashes.

Happy New Year Everyone!

Got that 0-150 video for us yet??
