Octane Booster Warning

[krzysiu]

One day i was at autobahn and i decided to buy Racing Super 104 Octane booster, to see what difference it will have. I havent used it yet. Went on the dyno to get a tuning and i asked a High Performace Mechanic about the octane booster. He told me to not even let it near my car. He said that it would ruin my spark plugs and that i would be coming to him for new ones :wassup: Guess i wasted $25 on an octane booster that im never gonna use :Bang: What have u guyz heard bout Octane Booters?

Zoom has an article all about octane boosters and what they do. They test them out on an s13 and come up with the one that has the most kw gain at the wheels. just my 2c

so according to this guy, all the cars that have been imported from japan have stuffed spark plugs cause they run higher octane fuel.

ive never heard anything bad about octane booster. the only thing is that some dont boost as much as they say.

After I put Platinum plugs in, I was warned against using boosters. Apparently it's the platinums that are sensitive; regular copper plugs are fine.

High Performance Mechanic?? HHAHAHAHAHA, what the hell is that???

Its funny when people describe others like that!!!

If you run proper 104 octane fuel it will kill your plugs quicker than 98 ron but not to the point of u having to change plugs every week or so.
