Tuning for Toluene

We all know the how a 20/80 mix of toluene/petrol increases 93 octane petrol to 96.4 octane, but what most people don't realize is that you can tune for toluene and get more reliable power from the car, as this chart shows:



Tuned + Petrol only : 362 bhp @ 6687 rpm; 349 tq @ 4297 rpm
Tuned for 20% Toluene : 381 bhp @ 5937 rpm; 373 tq @ 4687 rpm

Look at the increase in usable power, not just peak torque.
