My old moter had 13 to 1 compression. I ran 110 in it. I used to spray 150 to 175 NOS running 110 octane and never had detonating problems. Running NA or spray. That moter still lives, I sold it and went bigger. :wink:

Why would you even want to use "octane Booster" ? It only boosts octane 4 points at best. From say 93 to 93.4, and thats as advertised. Ill bet its even less with higher octane.
Now if you were a body shop guy and had access to 55 gallon drums of Xylene or Touline that might be a differant story.
