Boostane shots

[venom1997]

Anyone have experience with these it claims 2-3 number octane one bottle per tank at this lower concentration does it still turn plugs orange? I had a bad experience with Torco accelerator in the past even just doing 91 pump to make it 95-96 octane just wanted to see if the smaller boostane shots are safe or do they still turn stuff orange

If it has that mmt (sp?) stuff in it, then it probably will. That's my inexperienced guess anyway.

It will still be orange. I used to run it, thinking it was better than torco. I would just run some 260gt or something

Thanks guys I’m gonna pick up some Torco 108 unleaded locally for 85.00 for a 5 gallon pail if I do 5 gal of 91 pump and 1 gallon of Torco 108 it should be 94 octane which is perfect safety net window I. Case my water alky fails to spray

I was always told to stay away from those additives. Just get straight race gas or E85. I remember torco. I wouldn't put torco in my lawn mower.

That sucks to hear. I was considering running it.

Does anyone know of an octane booster that won't turn plugs and 02 sensors orange?

Asking because I am stuck with 91 octane where I live and do don't want to run meth injection.

I think all the real octane boosters have it in it even the Lucas one that raises a full tank 2-3 numbers has MMT according to the MSDs I read online. I have tried doing 4 gallon of premium 91 octane mixed with one gallon of E85 which should have given me 93-93.5 ish octane I had no problems running that batch

E85 and mixing fuels just isn't an option for me. Closest E85 is an hour each way.

The other aspect is running E85 or blending race gas severely limits where I can drive my car when I want to take it on a trip.

All I really want is 93-94 octane, nothing crazy. I'll probably end up running boostane anyway and just planning on replacing my plugs every winter.

Read the label on VP Octanium and see what you think. No experience, whether it leaves the orange frost.
I run it in all my 93 octane tunes. On engines that have knock sensors, it prevents knock that pulls ignition timing.
VP makes some premium canned fuel, I would think their additives would be good quality.

I just read up on the VP octanium unleaded if you do the 2.6 oz to 10 gallons which is a 2 number octane increase it’s still considered in the safe for use every day 24/7 for sensors like o2 and cats once you go above that mixture it requires more maintenance like changing plugs and sensors idk FWIW thats what’s on their website if it’s true then octanium at 2.6 ounces to 10 gallons of gas is safe for continuous use without harm to any sensors etc. 2 full points of octane is exactly what I want just as a safety net Incase my water alcohol fails in a full pull 2 full octane numbers will insure it won’t detonate in my case.

Mine was tuned on Torco in 2010 to 742 RWHP after I built the engine. After fourteen years of Torco, there is an orange hue on the plugs and piston tops. So what!

Did you notice and issues with 02 sensors or wide band if you have one?

 

[Quick Strike]

Livestream values for the sensors are fine. High flow cats are not cloged. I rarely bother with the uphill climb here anymore. People have a their opinions and would rather shout down instead of listening.

I don’t really mind the orange coating on the plugs or pistons I run a ton of water alcohol and that literally steam cleans my top end I was mainly concerned about 02 sensors however I’m not going to run it at a high concentration just the boostane shots 2-3 numbers to a full tank of gas we only have 91 pump here I want to get it to 93-94 as an insurance Incase my water alky fails under a wot pass

I ran VP Octanium for a while in my car when it was tuned on 93 with the Eaton. No I’ll effects other than orange plugs…didn’t bother me.

 

[venom1997]

Car made 550 wheel hp at 23* timing 13.5-14 psi boost 91 octane and 1000ml nozzles of water alcohol injection that’s my means of intercooling as I don’t have an intercooler on my blower. Now without the water spraying power drops off 80-100hp and would like that 93-94 octane safety window Incase I have an issue with the water injection during a pass

I think a lot of the issues from octane booster come from running very high concentrations of it.

 

[venom1997]

Yeah according to octanium if you keep it to 2.5 ounces per 10 gallons which is 2-3 number increase there’s no long term effects of the mmt to me that’s all I need nothing more just a little added insurance. But in my case the 4oz boostane shots are just easier to use than buying a full can of octanium or boostane

Ha I have a bottle of the VP stuff sitting in my garage that I’ll never use. Maybe I’ll use it in the town car to just so it doesn’t go bad.

 

[venom1997]

I think they all have a 2-3 year shelf life I remember my old Torco accelerator cans said 2 year shelf life I used few cans back pre 2010 era
