93+ Octane?

[efranzen]

Does anyone know of any stations in the Seattle area that sell 93+ octane? I know about the Cenex stations in Auburn and Puyallup but those are a little far south.

No. Asking an innocent question here. Is 2 octane worth anymore performance?

Papa Bears car wash/gas station sells 100 Octane I think it's made by Trick. I used to get it for my turbo charged car. A bit south of Lynnwood, if I remember correctly. Right on Trashers Corner.

Only if you tune for it, or raise the compression ratio of the engine, or use forced induction. For existing engines it just raises the threshold for factors that would cause timing to be retarded (like heat). Actually, in my LS2 & LS6 cars raising the threshold of retardation was meaningful. Especially the LS6.

If you need a octane booster the go to your local paint store and buy 5 gallons of Xylene or toluene Put 8-12oz with full tank of gas=3 points. Cheap booster Home depot 6.00 gallon. 104+ 7.00 12 oz.
This is a booster used by everyone 104+ ect.

Watch putting leaded fuel in your car.(Race Fuel) You will be replacing your O2 sensors.
There are 100s of threads on Octane booster.

Heres a small one:

Just for the record, the stuff at Papa Bears car wash doesn't contain lead.
