1. your link doesn't work
2. do you have proof of how much it raises the octane rating? Not the claim by NOS, but actual proof from a 3rd party...

 

yeah i dont think octane boosters work ive used a couple and their no good...do injector cleaners really work?

 

Try it now...

Not bad...I'm a big fan of the "home brew" toluene fix though.

 

Here's some information on "home brew" octane boost.

Using a fuel with "too much" octane (than the motor needs) will hurt performance also. Strange but true.

 

If the compression isn't high enough, the engine won't be able to burn the gas properly... hence causing lower performance.

 

I'm running 12.25:1 compression on my gsr and I can definate feel the effects of octane/compression...
On hot summer days I can't go with anything less than 94octane or else I'll here some pinging... but in the colder months I can use 92octane without a problem, because as the temp. drops so does the octane rating that I need

I've tried 92 with booster, but it not as good as 94(the problem is I have to drive 45+ min to get it... if It wasn't so far I'd use it all the time)

if I use 100 octane I can bring up my timing to stock 16-18degrees, but right now I'm at 13-14degrees just to run 92

GSR's have a knock sensor to cut back performace if the octane is too low..so if you ran 87 it wouldn't kill the engine, I hear that you'll lose about 15% of the power, the ecu probably cuts the timing back..

 

Holy crap! With that level of compression, the motor must be as responsive as he!!. Must sound really racey too.
