Running higher octane map using Octane booster
Anyone tried running a higher Oct map ie (95oct map using 93oct fuel+Octane booster)?
If so any significant difference in power? |

i dont think its smart to keep running octane boosters, they are known to foul plugs, but they do get rid of timing pulls on cylinders if you are running a bit stronger tune than your fuel can handle. Throw them in sure, but i wouldnt go up a tune because of it.

I did 91oct + one can of VP Racing Octanium unleaded to run 93oct map and it worked, so i guess if you do 93oct + 1 one can, you can run 95oct map aswell

Did you get custom tuned recently? I might be wrong, but if so why try the higher octane ots map?
