That's the right stuff. Let us know how it works out for you. Cheap octane boost is always good.

I use Xylene (similar to toulene) in my Turbo Buick with great results. 22.5 psi way back when I ran a POS stock inetercooler. I think I could hit 24 now with the Ford Power stroke unit up front.

Any ways the blend to use if you get either chemical is as follots

2/3 parts 93 octane gas
1/3 part Xylene or Toulene

and you MUST add for every gallon of mixed guel add about 5 to 10 oz. of Marvel's Mystery Oil or ATF. I think the Marvel's is better to add myself. See the Xylene or Toulene will destroy the top cylinder lubricatros found in gas these days. The Marvel's or ATF will help to replish this.

By the way that blend I recomended is the equivelent to 100 octane.

wahooooo
I get to inherit a GN when I turn 21... Its been sitting in a garage since 87... 28,000 original miles on it...

I just read an article today in this months Hot Rod about some aftermarket company producing 'OEM spec' blocks for the Buick GN that were capable of withstanding 2-3000 HP... have you heard anything about this?

BTW, do you know where to go for a rebuilt factory GN turbo and intercooler? Mines an 84, and I'm pretty sure the turbos shot (sounds like a slide whistle every time I start it up).
