    Most of the stuff you can buy off the shelby is junk IMO.

    I've heard Torco works decently, but have not done any testing myself.

    If you mix your own xylene or toulene then that can work, but you've got to watch the stoich point, if you change it you'll need to add more fuel through tuning.

    I know this is an old post but just thought Id toss in my 2 cents. I have used a few gas additives, since I currently own a 2007 Mustang I havent used it in it yet.

    From past experiences with older cars I found my best bang for the buck is Octane 104. I added to my 1979 Trans Am and it makes a world of difference. Says for offroad only but thats more to protect themselves, Ive had no issues whatsoever with this product. I also always use Super Unleaded with the Octane 104.

    Torco works great. I use it in the lightning with 20 degrees and 17# of boost. Only problem is it turns your plugs brown and makes it hard to read them for pinging or AF.

    I buy it by the 5 gal can. The last one I bought was $185.00.
