Octane Booster

07-09-2001, 03:27 AM

Im using the JL Diablo chip, and lower pulley with ram air. My truck doesnt ping using 92 octane. My question is, have you guys found boosters that have helped your performance? Since I dont detonate, it might just be a waste of money. Thanks.

I ran with NOS oct. booster fri. nite. I knew it wouldn't help with my times because I use JL's street chip but, it was hot (92F) and I wanted to prevent any possible detonation. Was using 1/4 tank of Amoco 93 oct.

No detonation--I didn't hear any? My times were actually slower than the fri. before with just Amoco. This past Fri., i ran a best time of 13.617 @ 102.79. The Fri. before, I ran a best of 13.477 @ 102.54.

Of course, there could be many reasons for the differencses. My point--the NOS booster didn't seem to be worth the $10(unless it killed any detonation?)

Don't think I will try it again?

I've tried the Octane boosters in mine and I didn't feel any difference, I normally use Texaco premium.

Stay away from octane boost, its not worth the cost. If you really want to increse your octane level without adding boost or oxygen adders use the "Torco Accelerator" consentrated racing fuel. One can (32oz) to 10 gallons of 93 octane gas makes 104 octane race fuel, or added to 5 gallons makes 107.
You can get this stuff from Simmons Petro. out of Ok. If you need a suppliers phone number email me and I will send it to you. Cost is $60.00 for 6 can case and will make 60 gallons of 104 race fuel for about 1/2 the cost of any race gas at any track.

Torco's web site is www.torcoracefuel.com and you can locate a dealer near you there.
