From what I hear and have read in various forums Torco is the route to go.
I wish I could find someone who sells it here in Canada. Kemco, the company who sells it will not even return e-mails.

I have used the Kemco "Octane Supreme 130" with real TEL.
It is the real deal, works great. I used rubber gloves when I was handling it! Very Toxic!

I checked on the Kemco "Octane Supreme 130" $20.75 with free shipping. See link below

I also found TORCO octain booster on ebay $92.00 for 1 bottle. The guy selling it also wanted $16.00 for shipping, any legitamate seller wouldn't charge $16.00 for shipping!

I'll try the Kemco

I think I saw that ad - it is for a case of 6 - 32oz cans. I don't see the problem with charging for shipping. He isn't Kemco, who can afford to pay the shipping (you are actually paying in the cost of the product).
My math makes the Ebay deal cheaper, even with the shipping.

I buy the Kemco by the case it works out to about $11.00 a bottle.(Quart) 1quart every time I fuel up(about 12 or 13 gallons) brings 93 octane up to about 98.Very pleased with it as it the most economical way to drive my car with the timing up where it likes it.Look on Kemco's web site they have the treatment formula.

My Bad, it was $92.00 for 6 bottles. I know how much it take to ship products, $16.00 is still too much. These guys on ebay over inflate the cost of shipping to make more money. I wouldn't pay it, but thats just me. I will however purchase the Kemco.

Dude, $16 for shipping a heavy box of chemicals is cheap ! I own a Hobby Shop and pay upwards of $18-$20 for boxes that size to be shipped to me at a volume discount ! You should see the cost to ship the Nitromethane fuels !

Dough,FYI,1qt/32 oz kemco in 13 gals of 93 fuel = approx 101+ octain,NOT the 98 you stated you think your at.

Your setup may very well not need the 100+ octain your mxing and you cold save you a lot of $/booster by not overding it.

Since you think 98 octane is enough for your motor try 1qt kemco in 18 gals of 93 fuel = 97.8 octane(97.5 in 20 gals) which is what i run so if you dont have a wild setup with very hi comp try 1qt in a full tank of 18-20 gals. It may work fine and make your kemco last 2x more then your getting out of it now because you would be mixing 1tq kemco per 18-20 gals insted of the 1qt kemco in 12-13 gals your currently mixing/running.

That would be a very substantial savings for you if your motor is happy with 97.5-97.8 octane fuel with 1 qt kemco in 18-20 gals 93 fuel.

But if you do hear any ping then try mxiing 1.5 qts kemco per 18-20 gals of 93 fuel which would put you right at 100 octaine still saving you almost 50% over where your currently at.

I paid $9.10 each for the kemco,i bought 2 cases for $220 /24= $9.10 per qt of Kemco,shipping is FREE.
