Octane Boost

[trw0042]

I will be having to run octane boost in my truck once my pcm gets here from xmetal. Does anyone have a favorite brand that is a national brand i can grab at my local auto store? I wish i had 93 octane in my area but its only 91

Agreed. Either blend racing fuel, or stay with a stock flash.
Good article about octane boosters:
http://www.europeancarweb.com/tech/0503ec_octane_boosters_tested/
Excerpt:
"The drawback to any of these additive ingredients is the diminishing effect they have on higher-octane fuels. Adding the same booster to 87-octane pump gas will yield a lot more octane gain than adding a bottle to 91-octane premium gas. Excessive concentrations of these additives also damage emissions-control hardware, such as spark plugs, injectors, oxygen sensors and catalytic converters. This is why most off-the-shelf boosters have an emissions-legal street formulation and an off-road formulation that exceeds the government-regulated concentration of MMT or ferosene. "

Hey thanks for pointing me towards the torco fuel. That stuff is widely recognized as the best it looks like. Appreciate it k80
