Octane Booster
#1
Has anyone used octane booster in their trucks? Any power increase? Can it be used with a HPP3? Does it help the engine burn more efficiently/ better mpg? Thanks

It will adversely effect performance if you aren't tuned for it as it doesn't burn too efficiently. Besides that **** in a can from the parts store may raise your octane .2-.7 now a REAL boost would be tossing in some toulene or xylene in a one gal of that for every 4-5gal of 91+ gas.

The fuel in the tank mixes with it. I believe it's like what 117 octane by itself?
