Thread: Octane Boosters

Hey all quick question.
Do those advertised octane boost products work? If so which ones do you all use and why? Or is it all snake oil?

Also, I am curious as to which brand of gasoline people are using, or is one no better than the other.

Thanks I will check this out!

The one I used to use was called Moroso (don't know the spelling for sure) and it worked really well. The motor i built had 12:1 compression ratio and the car would ping or accually knock really baddly without it. Pre ignition is the cause for the knocking or pinging.With out the octane booster the fuel wants to ignite before the piston is in proper position and can burn a piston etc. Without rambling on, I hope this helped...

Thank you. The gas out here in Ca. bites if you have hi po car.
