i was thinking of putting some in for my next race....good/bad or does it matter? thanks

 

Don`t expect much of anything.

 

is it better on the motor though?

 

octane booster isnt that great.. i have some race gas if you want some for saturday

 

If you pee in your gas tank, you might expect the same results.


Honestly, it helps next to nothing.

 

I have yet to see any significant benefit from octane boost. I would not substitute octane boost in place of race gas to resist knock. If I were you, I would make several passes with pump then add the boost and see if it makes any difference at all. Just don't plan on running race gas boost with 93 octane and a bottle of 104+. Good luck!

 

check your spark plugs after you use it. i used it once and had to replace the plugs they were black!

 

The "recommended" dosage is good for 1/10th of one point. So in Cali you`ll jump from 91 to 91.1. Go buy a value meal instead.

 

True story:

Last year or so, my girlfriend borrowed my Integra to get herself to work one day. It was low on gas, so she thought she'd do me a favor by filling up my tank. Fills it up with a tank of 87, totaly unaware what exactly running 9 lbs of boost with a 12:1 FMU & Stock timing consists of. (Already running extremely lean). Comes over to drop off the car, and tells my roommate of her good deed. "You filled it up with 91, right?" After explaining the situation, and after a bit of a panic on her behalf, my friend says, don't worry, he won't be home for another hour, go pick up some octange booster, and it'll be fine.
That happened to be the friday before a Test n Tune at Bakersfield.

A couple passes, best 13.7@102 on street tires, later... I'm noticing some severe blowby. What the ****. The last pass, I pull my best 60 ft. the at the top of 2nd gear, I heard an odd noise coming from the motor.

Pull into the pits, I had a hunch. Without a compression tester, I couldn't know for sure. So I took out each plug one by one, replacing them as I went. When I removed the plug of #1 cylinder, no change in idle, whatsover. Sweet!

Fried ringlands.

Can't really blame her. But since she sucked overall. I'm going to blame her anyways.


Sorry for the long story, I'm just bored at work.

 

87 octane in my boosted Integra? Someone is going to die.

 

Most people think octane booster really helps but its all in the head...thats all

 

octane booster

 

91 Octane is the highest octane of pump gas in Cali???

i moved to charlotte for school and we got 100octane on the pump

 

octane booster is good for cars that have been sitting for a while with gas in it, and yer too lazy to drain the tank, hehe... Go get some race gas if anything.

 

what about adding toluene? anyone do this? my brother has been doing it in his twin turbo subaru for a while, and when he adds some in, his car seems to run really smooth and strong. he just said you have to get the right portions.

why you dont let girls drive your car especially when its boosted

 

okay, why would you need to run high octaine in the first place, and if your that worried about it go buy some damn race fuel. at least mix it if your running o2 sensors.

 

here in bakersfield we have 100 at the pump aswell..but its only at 1 place..for anything else we get race gas..27 bucks for 5 gallons of 114.

 

get a gallon of 118 and you com out spending the same and you get actual benifits!

they should get rid of that crap it's a waste of money!
