Pretty easy money right
. This shop that i am going to just bet me $500 that i cant get a 12.99 or lower in my car, and i am a pretty good driver. Here are my mods for my engine.
1-hks up pipe
2-hks down pipe
3-buschur exhaust
4-hks intake
5-gold grounding kit
6-boost controller
This should be pretty easy right? O yeah and i also have a boost controller locked down at 1.1 bar.

Put a couple gallons of toluene in the tank and re-set the ecu 10 days or so before you run, and run toluene in the tank until the run....
...get to the track with ~1/4-1/3 tank of gas(with toluene already in it)....
BAM...

If you're going to a drag strip, you're a lot better off jsut running race gas. It isn't gonna work over your fuel system like toluene can, and it's more consistent.

Toluene is a major component of all gasoline, so using mixtures under 30% have not been shown to be problematic.
I would rather mix a known ratio of fresh 93 octane and toluene than use race fuel of questionable vintage.
I have been using toluene(and xylene if I can't get toluene) for a LONG time and have torn apart fuel systems that looked brand new inside after many miles. Toluene has the side benefit of keeping moisture from collecting in the fuel system.
Deterioration of rubber parts can occur if high concentrations are used....I have never found more than 15%-20% to be necessary to achieve desired results.
Use it. Love it.

If you don't need toluene to get into the 12's, you need toluene to prevent knock. If you get the ECU 'used to' the extra octane, then it won't pull timing(assuming knock) and you will get more power...probably quite a bit more depending on conditions.
If it were me, and there were 5 Franklins riding on it, I would want every advantage possible.
