It will not do anything for you other than waste your money. Besides, octane boost in a bottle is what we call.....snake oil.

nope. If you want to jack your timing up, get race fuel. Otherwise don't bother. Octane booster is a waste since it's not as predicatable as it claims. Honestly though, I don't know that you even have the option to jack timing up enough (With the diablosport) to where pump premium fuel wouldn't be enough to prevent detonation.

099gt, get some drag radials. You should be in the mid 13's with the mods you have. Mine are very similar and we have the same car. Where are you located though? And I was alos power shifting in every gear around 6000rpm.

The only thing that otc stuff is good for is cleaning your fuel system/injectors. It is just a type of diesel fuel with detergents/cleaners. As far as raising your octane, you don't need it unless you are detonating. Also, when it says it raises octane 10 points, a point = 1/10 of 1 octane. Many fuel companies now put added cleaners and detergents in the fuel anyway on top of the gov standards, i.e. shell.
