Buy 20 litres litres of a 100low lead, put in 5 litres with each tank full it works much better. Also the slight amount of lead in it good for your valves, you should not have any problems with your o2 sensor not for a long time anyway.

Its aleast 100oct often as high as 110...

I use it often, I run 15.5psi on my stock sohc I did some research along time ago when I couldn't boost past a certain level without detonating. Cleared that problem up, I later reliased it was most likely a tuning issue.

It could play a number on your cat converter and possibly the o2 sensor. My cat did take a **** after about 3-4 months of constant octane booster use, but I don't know for sure that it was because of the octane booster, it's just the most likely reason.

Injectors may foul though some OB's claim to have additives to clean them... That and your plugs. Seriously for the money 100ll is tens times more effective and it costs 10 times less. Will OB hurt your motor no.
