octane boost question !!!

[johnnywalker]

on the bottle it says that it will raze the octane by 3 point . does that mean that it will raze the octane in 92 unleaded to 95 octane ? and if you add two bottles of octane booster will it double the octane points to 98 octane ? i just wanted to know if anybody new how this stuff works ? thanks!!

I have tryed this stuff in the past and found it really dosen't work well. if you really need higher octane, just spring for some race gas.

I believe 3 points is going from 92 to 92.3, also with some it's effect can decrease with the more you use. Easier to mix a couple gallons of 100 or higher octane.

yah, i thought is sounded to easy . that's why i was asking because i do not know how the stuff works and i alway had that question in the back of my mind . i guess if it was that easy everbody would be doing it .

1 point is 1 full point. That means 92 to 93 is 1 point. 92 to 92.1 is 1 tenth of a point. This stuff works pretty good http://www.kemcooil.com/product_info.php?pId=130 it has real tetraethyl lead. If it's not for highway use it's the right stuff to use on the highway!

it MIGHT e an urban myth, but i also heard that 1 point is actually only .1 so if u use the stuff that gains 2 points on 91 gas it would increase it to 91.2

The crap you get in most parts stores containing MTBE raised octane but by tenths of a point not full points...

If you read closely it states there product will raise 92 to 101 with (8 OUNCES PER GALLON).
None of these additives make a fuel into real racing fuel But the Kemco works pretty good for the street strip car with a detonation problem. The lead also helps with exhaust valve life with soft seat heads. If you have a motor designed for 100 octane fuel you will surely make more power and see better motor life with real 100 octane race fuel.

Does this mean 10 dollars is really 1 dollar ?

You may want to look at this stuff. Torco is known for quality products. But I don't know about this accelerator as they call it.

Mods: if you could move this thread to General tech that would be nice.

I know it's been beat up before. I buy 100LL Avgas at our muni port. It is $ 4.00 a gallon and the pump is a open cardlock. They frown on direct car filling as the road tax thing. I have a 15 gal tank on rollers that came from a parts store . So 15 gallons 100ll is $60., one of the most stable fuels you can buy. My engine seems to run better with this mixed in. The seat of the pants meter says YES. I know my little nitrous jets think so. Tres...
