Does any of the Octane "boosters" actually do any good or do they just change the smell of the exhaust?? The " reformulated " crap we are forced to use in this area really is bad!! In fact you have to preheat it in order to get it to burn well enough to start a brush fire.. beeper

We use Turbo 108 octane! This has a special smell right after you pop the cap. It'll knock you out if ya get a good wiff. We tried the New N2O Racing octance boost with "10% Nitromethane", ha what a big joke!
Hope this helps! Oh ya we run Turbo 108 when we can't get any VP racing fuel 114 octane! |

Toulene and Xylene are available at paint supply stores by the gallon, 5 gallon and 55 gallon. You can also buy 1 gallon cans of them at Walmart. They are expensive per gallon, but much less than the bottled octane boosters. You pay a lot for that small can, the big ad budget, and the webstie,etc.
Both Toulene and Xylene boost octane rating and are components of racing gasoline blends - but - both have been linked to cancer, especially leukemia. Most crude oil and gasoline have some small natural percentage of Toulene and Xylene in them. Depending whether you test by the RON, MON or Army-Navy 'Performance Number' method, toulene and xylene have octane number ratings 110 to 117. In the Kenne Bell catalog they say they recommend only NOS pn #12007 (Red) and pn #12010 (Silver) octane boosters sold in cans. KB says they have tried them all and came to this conclusion. KB has a little table that says that one of these cans boosts 8.5 gallons of 92 octane gasoline by 2.5 (Red can) to 3.6 (Silver can) octane numbers. |
