Remember these cars are set up to run 93 octane from the factory to maximize performance.

Anything less is just wasting your money and driving pleasure with the ZL1.

Agree on all counts.

None. Car is tuned for 91. But our CA 91, along with NV and AZ is the worst. I've found cases where I was getting some KR after filling up at certain stations. Torco solves the problem. Its really added insurance.

The first easy test I did was on a nice hot day here in So Cal. I punched it entering onto the freeway on ramp at WOT and the car was singing like it never had before adding the Torco. I believe it felt as if my car was retarding the timing due to the crappy fuel and warm weather.

So if you go look at some of our builds you will see just how well torco works.....Tons more HP with timing!

Torco is MMT. Isn't MMT bad for our cars? I read somewhere that it leaves crud behind.

76 or Chevron if its an option.

It does add about a buck per gallon of fuel cost.

Jannetty Racing sells by the case or quart also. you can also go to Torco.com and order direct.

Jeb114 · 04-07-2015, 01:53 PM

Why would you use Torco when it contains MMT and Chevy states not to use anything with MMT as it can corrode metal parts in the engine. I have read several places not to use methanol as a coolant for the supercharger it erodes the coating on the fins of the rotors???
