I keep seeing stuff about octance boosters, as an easy thing to increase hp. i noticed a diffence when i switched from low grade gas to premium gas. most of the octance boosters say they will bost octance from 3-4 pts. Nos makes one that says it will bost 10 pts, but it also says "acts as a lead substitute" and thats no good
 . but in short, do these boosters work?

I put it in my car and noticed smoother acceleration and better throtle response. Octan has to do with the timing advance. Putting higher octan in your car is like advancing the timing a few degrees. So i think you could get a little extra power out if it. Plus, the gas will burn more evenly, providing efficiency and longer engine life. I really noticed a difference in power in my friends 71 Nova in the upper RPMs.
I think its good for something, but shouldnt be purchased regularly. |
