Race gas question
Not sure if this is the right place but here goes:
Does anyone have any experience with Torco racing fuels? I have experience with VP, but Torco sell smaller and more convenient quantities and I wanted to know if anyone experienced both and can tell the difference in performance?
Thanks

I asked around and the general feedback from people is that its decent.. and cheaper than VP but has slightly lower octane in the Torco 100UL vs VP103.. Still good enough for naturally aspirated engines such as mine..
They are open 24hr so its quite convenient..

Sorry, haven't been checking this thread often..
I bought 3 tanks (19 litres each) and used one when my tank was half full (Z4 M Coupe). Personally felt that the car was running smoother.. when the tank was half full again I poured in the second tank.. butt-dyno is happy, the car feels more responsive.. will dyno it sometime this week (if the kids sleep early enough!).. Dyno should show accurate gains since I didn't change anything in the car since last time except the fuel..

I've never ran my cars on pure race fuel (mainly because they don't need it).. I went through several barrels of VP and always mixed it with pump gas.. My Z3M clearly says 98 Octane on the dash, so I pretty much eye ball it by assuming pump is 93 and VP was 99. Torco claims 100 MON/RON average.
