Default Race gas octane booster

Has anyone try the race gas octane booster, reason I’m ask because 93 Anit like it use to be before Biden! Doing some research online and YouTube all seem pretty good, but I figured if I can get at least 100+ octane with 93 and race gas booster plus c16 in stand it will make nitrous more safer, right?

The octane booster I was recommended is an orange or purple can I bought at Summit. I have yet to use it but a lot of good reviews online about it.
comes with instructions on how to mix as well

This is some good stuff.. Have used it on the dyno several times comparing 93 octane to different mixtures of it and 93. It makes quite a difference when your compression is over 11.5:1.

Just ordered another case of it to try out in a customers turbo 5.3 Infinti G35 when we get done building it.

think bout getting it for truck wars, cousin/tuner dont wanna take the 5.3 right yet. he want to run the 7.0 class but i wana run the 6.5 class so i can see what she really would do. 100 octane in tank and c16 in stand alone should be pretty awesome! 300 shot on progressive on 5.3 should be pretty close

Like RDF1 said boostane is a good choice, It will turn your internals orange though. Lol.

I've run the Boostane and it does turn the plugs orange with the MMT additive.

There is an Octane Booster called ACES IV without MMT I've wanted to try. It's the "rocket fuel" one of the NASCAR teams got caught with years back that lead to a big scandal and a huge team fine. It's around $275 a gallon IIRC but treats like 750 gallons of fuel.

Boostane's MMT made my plugs to look rusty lol

I found absolutely zero anecdotal effect from octane boosters, I used Boostane and Risolone which they advertise being MMT as well. Now since i've got my Walbro "525" I can go back to full-time E85 (around 70-75% content in my area). However, I still slightly drop fuel pressure at about 10-15 psi at higher RPMs. Although I can keep it at full commanded pressure if I could force my FPCM to run at 100% DC at WOT, for whatever reason it wants to drop to around 88-93% depending on the system voltage, the higher the system voltage the lower the DC will drop. Even forcing the MIN duty cycle to 100% in the FPCM tune only works about 1% of the time.

Just run the pump wot and return it to the tank with a regulator that can handle the volume. I did this with my dual 450's and it works well so far. I can't find anything over 71% in my area so when I hit the track I'm going to add some Sunoco E85/99. I'm told that will pull up content if I keep it at a half tank since it's a 5 gallon jug.
