to be honost. that stuff is a waste of money. it doesn't raise your octane level that much. someone did the math on here and it was .04 pts higher. something like that. anyway, as it was expained to me, if you want to raise your octane level then get some race gas. but that isn't gonna do anything for you performance wise unless you have your timing turned up. which then the higher octane keeps knocking down. someone else want to chime in.

Try Torco Accelerator,it's a racing fuel concentrate.One quart will make 10 gallons of 93 octane into 104 octane unleaded racing gas.It's not cheap at over $12 a can and I had to buy it in cases of 6 direct from Torco.
