Octane booster (which is the best additive?)
#19
imo, octane booster doesn't affect engine performance in any way, a higher octane fuel just allows you to run higher compression, i.e. more boost. But just adding an octane booster isn't go to affect performance, running race gas in a wrx with stock boost levels isn't going to make your car faster.
This is just my opinion, if you can prove me wrong I'm listening....

^^exactly, it just prevents knocking, so all these kids running out and buying octane booster or race gas is pointless unless they have interchangeable maps on their ecu to run more boost.
I always laughed at the drag strip when guys would run to the 76 container full of 110 or 105 octane race gas when they don't even have a chip to switch to a race gas setting and a different air/fuel ratio map.
