As informative as that is, I am going to pull out the big nasty ---> [sm=bs.gif]. Reason being is that they seemed to be using a naturally aspirated motor when testing. However, for example when I had the Si, I would use octane booster to get the gas up to 104 ocatne from 93 at the track and made a huge difference. That video was making it look like you get horsepower of the bottle of 'magic horse power juice' they made it out to be. Its not that fact at all, more of simply increasing octane. Its the same concept as if you take a civic that is bone stock and fill it up with a tank of 93 octane gas... guess what happens? Nothing! Its strictly based for high performance cars... which they oh so non shalantly mentioned at the very end of the video.

Im done here.
