I picked up some Lucus Oil Octane Booster for some dyno pulls this weekend, just wanted to see if it's safe for the Gen III engines and if so should I put it into a half tank or the full tank?

 

id try a half because it will boost the octan higher since it is less to mix with, ive used a couple times but havent noticed a difference. i did notice i got less knock when i sed some 109 though.

 

If your engine does not knock (ping) now, the octane booster will not improve performance during the dyno pulls. High octane fuel burns SLOWER compared to low octane fuel. If the compression ratio on your truck is stock, octane boosters may actually harm the performance of your engine.

 

please dude do not waste your money on this junk..buy some actual racing gas..it says it adds seven points that goin from 91.0 to 91.7

 

Yeah read the fine print on the octane booster...one point is actually .1 . Most octane boosters add anywhere from 5-10 numbers (.5-1.0 actual octane points).

You wanna get a quick extra boost.... put on a few stickers... it always works for the riceburners out here.... JFWY

 

i know most are junk but i have read that the lucas stuff actually does boost you octane. sounds like a test to give to mythbusters.

 

if it really did..how come they dont use it in race cars and racing sanctions..

 

The only octane booster that is worth a **** is made by Torco. They call it a "Race Fuel Concentrate" as opposed to Octane Booster. It works. They have it for leaded fuel, and another one for unleaded fuel, and it also comes in 5 gallon cans.

These guys are right on it-octane boost on raises 0.1 point not 1.0 point

Torco is the ****
I use it every tank and it's cheaper than race fuel.
It Works if you need it.
1 qt to 20 gal makes 97 octane from 93 so its easy to use.
More Torco can yield 107 octane
