'67, 427/390 hp, 10.25:1 compression
Anyone have info on the octane boost products out there? There's a fair range of pricing - $5-$12 to treat 20 gal - but little real info on the product packaging.
This last tank I went with NOS (the nitrous oxide co.) "Street" formula octane booster. The box says it will bump the rating by 2-3 points and will act as a lead substitute and has "water suppressant qualities" among about 10 other selling points. There was also a "Racing" formula that boosted the rating by 5-6 points with the similar selling points.
I went with the "street" formula for about $4 less than the "racing" version since I have had little problem with pinging when running 94 octane pump fuel. NOS products caught my preference due to citing real octane boost numbers - none of the others did that I noticed. My main purpose in using these products is as a lead substitute and, gee, the "water suppressant qualities" sounds like something I could use given the long term storage this car goes through. (i also use fuel stabilizer.)
Here's waving to ya - \||||
