Anyone have info on the octane boost products out there? There`s a fair
range of pricing - $5-$12 to treat 20 gal - but little real info on the
product packaging.
This last tank I went with NOS (the nitrous oxide co.) "Street" formula
octane booster. The box says it will bump the rating by 2-3 points and
will act as a lead substitute and has "water suppressant qualities"
among about 10 other selling points. There was also a "Racing" formula
that boosted the rating by 5-6 points with the similar selling points.
I went with the "street" formula for about $4 less than the "racing"
version since I have had little problem with pinging when running 94
octane pump fuel. NOS products caught my preference due to citing real
octane boost numbers - none of the others did that I noticed. My main
purpose in using these products is as a lead substitute and, gee, the
"water suppressant qualities" sounds like something I could use given
the long term storage this car goes through. (i also use fuel
stabilizer.)
Here`s waving to ya - ||||

Is this a personal opinion or can you cite any reference material I
might be able to look at?
As I mentioned, I`m not after the boost as much as the lead substitution
and fuel stabilization qualities. 94 octane unleaded seems to do OK in
my 427 - though i don`t get my foot in it very hard, very often.
