octane booster

Does it add and power? or is it pointless to spend money on? And if i have a 93 dyno tune will it mess my tune up if i run it?

Usless, if your running 93 and add the octane booster you will have maybe 93.2 octane.

The only octane booster I would ever run is race gas mixed in with 93. All the other crap is just a gimmick for 17 year olds who drive their moms toyota matrix and want to be like Brian O'conner.

When I was running my old setup (10.5:1 compression and boost) this is the only stuff I used when I could not get any race gas
