Any one have any tech data with regards to adding NOS octane booster or any other brand to your fuel?

IT works but it takes a **** ton to make a difference racegas mix would be easier and less expensive.

Well, I've read on various boards that it will help keep knock down in hot weather driving. Any truth to that? I'll be attending a track at Buttunwillow in August and track temps will be over 110 degrees. Just wondering if some over-the-counter booster will make a difference.

i've seen them do a combo propane and nitrous injection, they used the propane as a fuel additive, and nitrous as an oxidizer.

Torco octane booster from www.needforspeed.com. Best price I found and it is very effective. Cheaper than toluene, and not as toxic.

theres a formula out here, done by andy floyd, about how much to mix with X gallons of X octance gas to make X octane fuel....you can easy dump like 4 gals of tourene in and get like 110octane fuel.

:gay: It's called ALGEBRA. You learned about it in 9th grade.

It would be
(Octane Rating of Fuel A * # of gallons of Fuel A + Octane Rating of Fuel B * # of gallons of Fuel B) / total # of gallons in tank

I didn't know any better when I bought my first FI'd Miata and filled it up with 87 octane gas on the way home (about 600 miles). I ran the tank to 50% and filled up with 93 oct and added a can of octane booster. Still pinged. Ran down to 50% again, filled with 93 oct and added another can of octane booster. Still pinged. That **** doesn't work! Adding a 12 oz can of something is completely different than adding a gallon or two of straight toluene.
