Here is a product we stand behind 100%.
Developed by some frineds that run some pretty heavy hitting turbo and nitrous cars.
I was not a fan until I tested it,made me become a dealer and have never looked back.
I will put my money were my mouth is if someone here finds different results than I.

Yes I am a dealer and yes we sell it to forum members for a reduced price.

If you're really that interested in increasing octane to gain more performance....you could use 4 quarts of alcohol (1 gallon) to 15 gallons of gas. Alcohol sells for about 99 cents/quart in my local Wally Mart and it will raise your octane level to 103....in 15 gallons of 91 gas.

Don't waste your time with any of the over the counter "octane boosters" there is plenty of detailed test data available on the internet from reliable sources showing these are either junk or good for about 0.2 points. 93 octane is all the tunes require. For track weekends in 91 octane states, mix race gas at 5:1 or Ace Hardware (Pure) Toluene at about 10:1 to get 93 octane (been doing it for years in off-road bikes and buggies). Use caution and mix outdoors, DO NOT breath fumes (some folks try to claim Toluene fumes are relatively harmless, they are NOT, but it is a common fuel additive to boost octane (The old F1 turbo cars ran about 80% Toluene)). Easy Google search for more info.

I was in the same boat as you,and I had the same thoughts about maf sensors in the aftermarket---now look at me.

2) while alcohol will indeed raise the octane of your fuel, it will also lower the thermal potential energy at the same time. The increased octane allows you to advance the timing further, thus gaining more power, and the reduced thermal energy from the burning fuel mixture reduces your power. Net gain? Some water in your fuel. If you pay through the nose for high-purity isopropyl alcohol, your net gain will be a lighter wallet.
We can debate... but be prepared for the science.
