Has anyone ever tried any sort of octane booster. Does it help as much as advertised?

 

I only use it for track days so it it gets mixed in with my fuel all day and by the time I hit the track its already pumpn through the fuel system. It only helps out a little bit.

ive used that stuff at walmart...nothing too great.. but it works... helps keeping the engine internals clean... i have a habit of using alot of dry gas

 

most of it is crap, but Ive found one that seems to work as advertised. I am trying to find someone to do actual tests on it to see, but all of my testing has shown real gains with it. Its called Torco Accelerator. a 32oz bottle raises 20 gallons of 93 octane to about 97, 10 gallons to over 100, and 5 gallons to (i think) 107. Ill post some pics of the label when my next shipment comes in here in a day or two. most of it is a scam though, but I believe in this stuff.

 

holy crap ur back and posting now sweet

 

i use outlaw booster in the V8 car, and sometimes in the RT..i have also used outlaw sport compact stuff, which is a cleaner and booster. also, i have had luck, and known several others, who like lucas stuff, but i think that its a cleaner...

 

the octane boosters i like are lucas and nos brands. i've tried many brands those two seem to be the best in my opinion.

 

And this one?

If you read the fine print on most of them bottles, it says it will raise it less than 1 point per a bottle--so basically its not worth it. Cheaper to run racing fuel than buy that crap---Dave
