Octane Booster

I recently bought an octane booster and fuel injector cleaner and some other additives that help to take care of your engine made by the company NOS. let me tell u its very very cool.i followed the directions and waited till i had an empty tank, filled up with premium gas about 93 octane, then added the octane booster. bout 30 minutes go by and the exhaust volume goes up a few decibles and gets louder. i noticed that the gas pedal has a little more response. i went through the whole tank of gas. i could really notice a difference the next time i filled up on how the engine performed and so on, no HP gains but i could defently tell my engine was a little bit happy. thats all i have to say about that, it was pretty cool.

I put the same product last september in my 93 ford tempo 5sp. i couldnt really notice an difference on anything cept when i took everything apart and noticed that the injectors were a little cleaner. but yea anyway thanks for listening!!!

Hey, which formula did u put?
I think there's a street legal formula that boosts your octane about 3 or 4 points.
Then there's an offroad formula that boosts it about 7 points.
So with 93 octane gas you're runnin about 100 octane.
I put the "Offroad" formula in mine a few months back and I noticed the same thing.
The engine runs a little smoother and does sound a bit "happier". lol
