correct, 1 octane point is .1. If brand X claims that their octane booster will raise your octane by 8 points, you will go from 91 to 91.8.

 

There are octane boosters that specifically say "raises octane a full 3-7 numbers"(not points).

 

Don't waste your time with octane boosters get some real gas

 

The only octane boosters that are worth anything on the market is Tolene and Xylene. It's pretty much race gas if you mix it properly

 

meth is the best octane booster

 

With a kit, yes. Actually Nitrous. Tolene and Xylene can be added to your tank

 

nobody runs meth in the gas tank....lol
i think you can make more power SAFER with meth then nitrous

how about meth plus nitrous. then you get the best of both worlds...dont ask me how i know

Does no one on here know what Tolene or Xylene is?

 

yes....
its just no one really uses it that much

 

its waste money

 

Not worth the price.

On a side note, with your tune, 9 times out of 10 you will make LESS power running a generous mix of race gas and pump gas, if your car is not tuned for the ratio like other members have said.

Fact: The higher detonation threshold of race gas is actually creates less energy as compared to a lower octane rating on the same tune. The increase in timing and boost is what gives you the performance increase over pump gas.

 

if you have a lancer it helps you know your cool...if you have an evo don't bother

 

I've ran tolene in my Evo and it was much cheaper then race gas (110). I was able to pull out equal amounts of timing with the proper mixture and DLL the same.
I've also ran it in a Turbo BMW with no issues. If you buy it in bulk it's only about 4 dollars a gallon. Compared to the $6.00 plus for race gas.

 

exactly, people dont understand this....
