Home made oct boost how too!

pretty much BS, only leaded gas can damage your o2 sensor/catalytic converter. Basically any gas over 100 octane generally has at least SOME lead content.

Sooo...if i have three gallons in my gas tank. two of which is pump gas, say 93. and the other gallon is toulene, about what would my octane rating be?

For now, this will be ok. In the winter, your car will be hard to start. I was running about 25-30% xylene and had some trouble.

When they used it in the indy cars of yore, they used ~86% toluene and 14% other (not for sure what it was, but it was a volitile hydrocarbon) to get car started and allow it to keep running when off the boost. If you run over about 30% in a street car, it will be hard to start w/o a very hot spark.

You can use Marvels Mystery Oil in place of ATF.

Thats ok, the only time i would do this is when i go to the track which is closed during the winter anyways, but thanks for the heads up.
