...
is this stuff another MMT concentrate?

Good question. I am guessing not since they say catalyst?

I'm willing to try it, but why isn't it in the big stores? Whats in it? Etc, etc. Why do I have to email to purchase? No simple online ordering in this day and age?

I know what you mean, but this guy is hands on and wants to talk with every customer first to explain its benefits and application. I would be more weary of a business that will sell via internet but can never get them on the phone. Brian is always available to talk. Try him

e85 isnt corrosive, if were being pedantic.

Sorry not trying to start and arguement, but below is just one of many who talk about E85 effects on fuel systems and motors. The paragraph is a quote from the link provided.

There have been many rumors going around that E85, which is biodegradable in water, can corrode a vehicle's fuel system, including the fuel tank. Although E85 is corrosive, it is not much more corrosive than regular petrol. The chemical properties of E85 are not what cause the corrosion; it is the water in E85 that may cause rust and block up the fuel system.

Again I'm not the expert on this just trying to pass on some information on this. Call BND and ask the questions, you will get the answers.

Yep I looked at the same link. A lot of people confuse methanol and ethanol and which one is corrosive and toxic. Very refined ethanol is drinkable. Methanol is what makes you go blind.

IMo u can run more than 19 degrees of timing on 93 and torco.Im not sure if your tuner has your tune set for 19 degrees max or the 93 you got would not let your timing advance anymore.But 15 hp for 1 extra degree of timing seems about right,if u can get it to 20 degrees without any knock that would be close to 30 hp over your 93 tune,$20 bucks is worth that for me when i go to track.I use octanium and go from 18 degrees on 93 to 21 degrees on 93/oct mix and i can feel the difference.

Lund is doing my tuning, Dakota said 19* is about the max Torco can do.

Looking at my logs, timing jumped around alot. At redline it was at 19* (Knock at -1.3). The highest throughout the pull was ~21* around 4k RPMs.

Not sure what that means or if it normal to jump around, but Lund said my logs looked good. No positive knock throughout the run. I assume since at one point it was 21* that the tune allows the car to add more, but it wasnt able to? :shrug:

thanks! what ratio 93/Torco during those pulls? I'm running a half can each tankful, but I'm on a large 3.75 whipple pulley. Mostly for bad gas protection. Will call BND guy today.

That pull was 1 full can of Torco with a full tank of 93.

For reference, I'm getting 25 plus degrees down low and 22.5 degrees up top on E85 with return system. I also believe that Octanium may have destroyed my plugs. They looked terrible and almost rusted (dry fouled) and I'm pretty sure the Octanium did that.

Wow that's disturbing. I've been tossing it in for the hell of it.

Anyone else seen this?

MMT will make your plugs turn orange/red. This is known.

I thought I read it was before but I believe it was contributing to my car trending lean as well. Detriment to the plugs that is.
