Default Parish8 xylene?

Parish8 how are you mixing the xylene in your truck? I'm wanting to try some in my Tahoe it sounds cheaper than 104 unleaded.

Hey do a search. I posted up some stuff on how to make race gas and such. Use Toulene or Xylene. $2-5/gal the more you buy the cheaper it gets. I explained how to make higher octane, mixing, etc.

It was a reply by me in this forum.

i fill the truck to what i think is about 10 gallons of 92. i put 20 oz of tranny fluid in a 5 gallon gas can, dump about 2 1/2 gallons of xylene in the can and then dump that in my truck, then i take the other 2 1/2 gallons and dump that in the gas can and then into the truck. i drive it for 20minutes or so before i beat on it, give it pleanty of time to mix around.

it has alowed me to go from 6psi up to 9psi with no knock retard. doing a search would get you more info on my experineces with xylene, there was a post in the forced induction section not long ago.
