yeah, that's what the tip-in is. how much accelerator movement corresponds to how much throttle. It's electronically controlled. In the X models when you go into snow mode it actually reduces the accelerator pedal sensitivity to make it easier to accelerate without slipping. The Q50 also has an eco mode that likewise reduces the sensitivity.

I feel like my car may have just needed supporting mods for the tune(i really should have gotten exhaust first). I'm going to pay attention next couple days and see if it's just a placebo.

You kinda lost me there. I put it in while I had around half a tank left. My octane should have already been around 93-94 because I put in a couple gallons of 110 over the weekend.
So with 1/4 bottle of torco(8oz added to 10 gal), it should have boosted me about 4 octane numbers. So I'm assuming I'm at around 96+ octane on the conservative side.

A gallon of straight toluene in 10 gallons of 93 octane would get you about 95 octane. There's no way 8 oz of anything is getting you 96+

(edit)
Curious though, Torco's own blend chart suggests otherwise. I wonder...

That chart does not indicate straight Torco octane but one could probably infer it from the chart.
I checked MSDS and it lists 2,2,4-trimethylpentane (80-100%), Methylcyclopentadienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl (0.1-10%) and naphthalene (0.1-5%). The first one is plain old isooctane which has octane of 100. Naphthalene is 90 Motor octane, I don't have Research number but it will be roughly 10-15 number higher. The manganese compound wasn't tested in API Project 45. Formula One outlawed manganese in fuels in the Nineties due to toxicity but it sure made astronomical turbo pressure values possible.
Chemical manufacturers must list each chemical in a mixture on the MSDS. They are allowed to fudge proportions to protect recipe, thus the ranges listed above.

We must be looking at different charts. The linked chart doesn't show an 8-oz in 10 gallon entry. Are you inferring from the five gallon line?
In addition, is that 8 fluid ounces or mass ounces?
