Default Where can one get a gallon of Toluene?

Specific type I should be looking for and should I just add 1 gallon to a tank almost full?

Default 39 cents at radio shack ;)

you need to get the new EMCS board, or just get apr to add it.

Call APR for details

Default so do you run lead in your fuel from time to time to soften

the impact of running hard?

How often do you run,if it all, the blue fuel(C-16) fuel? My local petrol station sells the blue for a little under $5 a gallon.

Default I am still waiting to run C16 in my car.

The price for C16 here is just over $8/gallon. The blue fuel that most stations sell would be 100 unleaded octane which is good to run for a track day.

Default The local C-16 is $5 per gallon I heard from a friend

who flies airplanes regularly. In any event, do you recommend using the oct 130 avgas with lead in it or is that just a bad idea. My friend says it works great for all the cars he has worked on.

Default You will have less power if you try to run a high octane on a street chip

that fuel needs more adv timing and a chip tuned for pump gas will not burn that fuel correctly.
