Default Neither: He used too much torco and it fouled his plugs...
Torco contains MMT which contains maganese. It coats everything, including plugs. It's not harmful but in high concentrations it can foul plugs.

No, T burns clean but you'll have other problems with higher concentrations.

Default T is a solvent. Your fuel pump, lines, seals, injectors may regret it...
30% is considered a good upper-limit. Also, being an aromatic hydrocarbon, it doesn't vaporize as well as gasoline in ambient temperatures.
