I was running turbo cars on Toluene years ago, I suggest you don't get it on your skin or park in an enclosed space if it means breathing in the exhaust fumes...

Yes it is - and that's why you should put it in your engine

Gives new meaning to detonation LOL

anyways - it really reduces the charge tempratures quite nicely

David, find out of there are any companies local to you that manufacture paper for photocopies etc, they will have a ready supply of toluene and Isopar (not sure what isopar is - probably really bad stuff, but we used it to light BBQ's etc
