Pontiac Solstice Forum - View Single Post - Using Toluene as Octane Boost

I've also read somewhere that mist cooling is in effect the same thing as boosting octane. However, I've seen nothing on this subject from the performance guys on the forum. I did see a limited edition WRX at the Texas Motor Speedway with a stock mist cooler. As you may also know 15psi is pushing the "springs" capability of the motor. At that pressure I might be inclined to add a head gasket to lower the compression. Clearbrainstall mixes 91 with 100 and runs around 13.5psi.
