Just my 2 cents:


Toluene is what the F1 boys used during the turbo days. They would make 1200-1500 HP in qualfying trim with only 90 cubic inches. Obviously the turbos had a lot to do with this, but this could not have been acomplished with gasoline. If I'm not mistaken, they would run mixtures of well over 80%, I think even more.
