| Why do you need to put 93 or octane "boost" in a stock LT1? | |

| well if you feel like throwing money away , throw it this way. .... ..... premium is a good idea as long as it's not from A1 prime or cost less than regular @ a station down the street ..... | |

| I took this from the internet,. - Quote :
- Sample Mixture
To make your own octane booster, it is easiest to make up a large batch, and then bottle it up in "dosage-size" uses. Below is the basic formula of one of the popular octane booster products. To make eight 16 ounce bottles (128 oz = 1 gal):
100 oz of toluene for octane boost 25 oz of mineral spirits (cleaning agent) 3 oz of transmission fluid (lubricating agent)
This product is advertised as "octane booster with cleaning agent *and* lubricating agent!". Diesel fuel or kerosene can be substituted for mineral spirits and light turbine Nick
