Octane Booster @ Trackday

[WogsRus]

i had to use soem in my car, used the 104+ stuff @$22 a bottle, did shit all, had to knock a bucket of timming out, my plugs were shot, and car ran like crap, now back to the good stuff, and no problems so far.

dunno ifits been covered b4 but my mate rekns if u take mothballs and disolve them in a bit of fuel and strain the wax out then put the liquid into the fuel tank thatit increases the octane like crazy...

no idea ifits true. lol.. anyone know?

In the old days, mothballs where made of naphalene which makes a good octane booster but you'd have to use a fair amount. Nowdays they are not made of naphalene because its toxic. So you'd be pretty stupid to put that in your tank. Even if you were using the 'legit' mothballs that was already pretty stupid anyway.

Wow this thread took of a little huh?

had heard the ones about moth balls before, but who the hells gunna do that.

Brand I had used, the one claiming 60 points of octane boost was like NOS brand figured they would be pretty reputable, could be wrong was like $40 dollars a can too dont have one here at work so cant say how much was in it, not much though (aprox 500ml not sure) when I am not at work will check and post actually thought it said MMT free on the packaging but not sure. Smelt like potent stuff, avgas sorta smell.

Though if its coating my plugs and O2 sensor think I might give it a miss from now on.

Thanks for the advice
