They make 2 different ones though, one that raises 3 points and one that raises octane 7 points. Get the good stuff. $8-$10 a bottle.

When they advertise "7" or "3" points, that really means it is raising your octane rating from 93.0 to 93.3

If you want some real octane booster try this stuff

Torco concentrated race gas really works, and is better than any octaine booster. We were running this stuff w/ 12 gallons of gas in the tank did not ping once the whole day. Even useing the nitrous on the all out strip program from Sal. You can buy it from Simmons in Oklahoma by calling Alvie at 800-804-5823 for a 6 bottle case for $60.

Appreciate the posts on booster additives
I tried some NOS the other day before I went to the races. I too noticed not a single ping during the day!

Now I don't have a Bolt,
Q: does it do me any good/bad??
Is it worth the extra 9-10 bucks?

Thanks for the information.

You guys who use Torco, can you tell me what the mixing instructions are?

Thanks!

1 - 32 oz can to 10 gallons = 104.
1 - 32 oz can to 5 gallons = 107.
This is not a octane boost, its a concentraited race fuel. It loves to mix with nos.

Tim, the 7 point one says "off road use" on it too. Wasn't aware of the third one.

It may be Racing only.. It said it contains something like Nitro-??? or something... I know the "Nitro" I think its a black bottle.. (havent used any since November last year) Check it out at Pepboys tho... Some of the Dakota boys say they can tell a difference... &lt;shrug&gt;
