and response was greatly incresed. I remember someone testing and saying higher than 98 oct on X is pointless. I just need IBE to come out so I can get XR finally.

It is not wise to run more then 30%.

It is also not good to leave it in the tank so I hope you used it all up.

8@93 and 5@114 = ~101 octane not 106.

Log knock voltages. I bet you could bump up timing with lemmiwinks and still be fine.

I was wondering about that. I've done a good amount of searching...

but haven't been able to find much solid about the bad side-effects of Toluene. It tastes just like moonshine- with not much hangover.

But seriously-- will it eat the tank and fuel lines or something?
