i thought you could redirect the ac coolant throught the intercooler, the water to air type. that probably would real self defeating.

that rooftop intercooler might work though i am not sure about that one.
hey i did read the thing about acetone though, hhhhm, it might work.
toulene does work, it boost octane, but you can notgo over 30% toluene to gasoline. they did an experiment in sport compact car awhile back, in the magazine it worked. but itis expensive. but how much is racegas cost?

Whether it "works" or not is irrelevant -- you have NO control of the actual density and consistency of the mixture, unless you're willing to drain the gas tank 100% dry each time, rinse it out, let it dry, and then mix your ratios. Just dumping it in the tank is a gross guesstimate that you're never going to get consistent, so it is a sure path to a grenaded engine some time in the future.

Not to mention that Tolulene is extremely toxic, much moreso than gasoline itself (which is also very bad stuff to breathe or even be around). Taking a few years off your life seems like a high price to pay for going a little faster.

Sand in the intake to P'N'P intake and exhaust.
This has got to rank high on the most retardest things I have ever had the displeasure of hearing. Funny as crap too!

that has to be the stupidest thing that i have heard someone do to an engine.
i just want to know how they thought that would even work.
they obviusly have no idea of how an engine works,
how was the sand supposed to be compressed.
i got water into an engine, but i new that was a problem from the start, total accident, but that should have stalled. besides how did it not gum up the turbine, or did they suck the sand in sfter wards, i just skimmed the article.
JUST BECASUE YOU CAN, DOES NOT MEAN YOU SHOULD.
