You should be fine if you stick with the octane boosters that don't contain MMT (methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl). The only one that I have run across is 104+.

the color on your plugs is due to the octane boosters dont worry look at the plugs i had i use a lot of octane boosters the NOS brand check them out:

nothing wrong on using the octane boosters just that you spend more money i use the one that increases 60points or 6full numbers we have crappy gas here in my country thats why i use it.
