[sm=forgetit.gif]- Be very careful with additives, usually do more harm than good.
Most people will just tell you stick with a good quality name brand gas.

The only Additives i would run would be Chevrons Techron or the Redline Brand other than that forget use a Top Tier fuel and you have no need for additives.

I try to stay away from any additives. I am sure there are some out there that are not bad, but I am not a big fan.

Additives will clog and plug up your injectors. I did this one time and the mechanic thatdynoed my car said it was a waste of $15 for the octane boost I added. It also showed ZERO results on the Dyno from the previous weeks run.If you have upgraded them like me the last thing you want is to be out $300 to replace them.

I've used X-1R before and it helped with deonation but it also can built up gunk in your fuel system. I had to have mine cleaned out. Now I heard the X1-R fuel cleaner is the same thing but with no octane boost. It has a liquid nitrous in it.
