Believe in the 'lene!

BTW in case any of you all are wondering... Toluene is ABSOLUTEY the sh*t. It is "as seen on TV" and more!

I finally got my 92 octane pump gas Stage 4 UTEC map dialed in last night. I could only support ~17.5-18psi of boost with a LOT of timing pulled in many problem spots (2-3 degrees in some cases ) and ended up with a very unsmooth ignition curve.

Threw enough Toluene in the tank to get me to ~94 octane (+ a couple of tenths or so) and WOW. I was able to run the base TXS Stage 4 map (tuned for 93 octane) with upwards of 19psi of boost with 0 knock! I was even able to reduce the gain setting on the closed loop boost control to decrease spool time without any det events.

Lovely!

Gotta get me a commercial account at Shermin Williams...
