Torco 108 on a Vortech V2 '99-'04 GT?

Xcessiv · 09-13-2007, 11:34 AM

Hi,

What kind of power gains can I expect by using 50% Torco unleaded 108 / 50% 94 gas on a basic Vortech V2 GT w/ 4" boost pipe (not aftercooled/intercooled) with timing bumped by 3 degrees?

Is there any risk? Weather is pretty cold here.

Thanks

Talk to your tuner.

bumping your timing 3* probablys inst' going to give you that much more. If you're going to go through the hassel of mixing gas, add more boost and intercool it.

don't just change fuels... check on a dyno and see if it's gunna ping.
