Has anyone tried it? Does it work? How does it run in a tuned vehicle? Which tuner? More power? Better mileage?

 

make your own for less

i guess i will be making a trip to the market
dose it work

 

Meh (at any octane booster)

 

what

 

most octane boosters only give u .2-.3 points octane not really enough to make a difference ur better off buying a gallon of xylene and pouring in ur tank and get 1-2 points out of it

 

I saw on The Dukes of Hazard how they put moonshine into The General Lee. But you won't see me pouring any homemade concoction into my tank any time soon.

 

Most octane boosters:

1. don't work - as indicated, increases are only in fractions of a percent
2. contaminate O2's - a real bad thing

In a pinch - you can try Torco, the only one that works as advertised and is safe.

But - if you have an issue that requires a bump in octane, get the root cause fixed. Don't rely on a "remedy in a bottle".

Some folks here use Torco when @ the strip as a safety measure to ensure any potential detonation ( usually under boost) isn't gonna grenade the engine...

It's cheaper, safer, and more effective to use higher octane fuel to begin with - if you have a need for higher octane.

 

Keep on mind the quality of the gas you are using and its additives, including ethanol in that they may actually diminish the proposed increases in octane points these products advertise. Additionally, I believe the rule is in order to achieve MAXIMUM yield from higher ocatane, you need a higher compression ratio.

 

I'd rather pour it in my glass and mix it with some Bailey's

 

i tried makin that once dident turn out good

 

I run that stuff in my car all of the time. I'm not sure how much of a difference it makes but it gives me more piece of mind whenever I get into boost..

 

What stuff?

If it's Lucas, stock up on O2's - yer gonna need 'em ....
