Do you guys know is this any good.They say it has (among others) a small amount of nitromethane in it and raises octane number +7.Is it safe, I've heard a lot about dangerous octane boosters on the other hand Nos is a well known company..

7 points means .7. So if you use 91, it would be 91.7. BUT the stuff is good. Heard good things about it too. Back in the day, it wasn't safe for catalytic converters so it would really tear up the inside of the cat. Now, I think even the race formula is catalytic safe.

Nos racing formula raises octane 60 points. NOS off road formula raises it 70. It actuality, it raises it about 2.5 according to some tests. Do a search for the europeancar lab tests

why the big discrepency of .7 versus 2.5 ??
also, is that 1 bottle per tankful to raise the octane this much?
lastly, regarding octane gains: is it important what octane base u have when adding the NOS booster ?

thanks

Well considering $15 will be the extra you pay for putting in 6 gallons of 100 octane at $5.99 gallon. (+$2.50 gallon) Won't 6 gallons of 100 octane mixed with 9 gallons of 91/93 octane raise the overall rating by 2.5 at least?

I would stay away from the octane booster's, they contain MMT which will turn your plugs orange and possibly leave deposits in your combustion chamber.

Yes, they work (because of the MMT)...however, for me its not worth it. I mix 100 octane unleaded with 91.

Totaly agree with you. I wouldn't risk it by any means.

Dont think with a booster you ll be faster than us.

thanks, i will look for another solution...
i am thinking of adding toluene to my 85 octane, but not sure if adding some sort of oil/or other protection to gas + toluene mix will protect the seals in my fuel delivery system.

conflicting opinions on toluene...any thoughts, comments?

thanks

Honestly, unless your racing the car or going for major tunner power...I would just stick with the highest octane you can get at the pump. Look for a race shop in your area that sells unleaded race fuel.

When you get into adding toluene, plus oil(marvel mystery oil or auto trans fluid) it just gets kind of scary for me. The risk to me is not worth it.

Test was done on 91 octane. It seems to work. I wouldn't use it at every fill, only when you're out of gas and no access to 100.

you maybe right, i just hate putting 85 u.s. octane in my 335 :sad0147:
curious though, what risk in mixing lubricant with the toluene??
foul plugs? i would think the fuel pump and injectors would b fine.

thanks
