Octane Booster

I was thinking about trying some of this but was unsure if it really works or is good for the FD's. Does anybody use this stuff and if so which brand? Please give some pro's and con's. Thanks.

We have only 92 here in Canada... sure sucks 2 yrs back we could still get 94. Anyways...

I've used NOS racing formula... works well every 1/2 tank.
I've used Super 104 before but I think the NOS product is better.

Word of caution... Check your plugs occasionally. I have to clean plugs every couple months... not sure if it is from the Octane boost or the specific gas around here. Maybe the oil I have used...Castrol yuck...

regards jc.

Remember when most octane boosters state that they raise you'r fuels octane level by x points those points are 10ths not full points. If you really want to raise you'r octane level try toluene.
