I have read how some of you have access to 93 octane and it makes a noticeable difference so when I was in getting some tire shiny stuff I noticed octane boost on sale well let me say for the rest of us who cant find 93 at the pump this stuff is amazing makes the boost shoot over 20 in an instant don't know how far over 20 cause I had to pay attention where we were going. Wow

I can get 105 octane racing fuel down the street, Last time i checked it was $6.25 A gallon. Used to put it in my bike. It was Like jet fuel for my fazer.
If i went to a strip, I'd probally fill the SS with it, Just for s-its and giggles. But thats a pricey fill up.

Just make sure it is unleaded. I have seen some new cars really messed up with the leaded stuff.

I think throwing 3 gallons on the top would probably do it but the booster was only 5bucks

i ran a few gallons of 103 mixed with some 91 and it ran great. idk about filling it up with anything over 100 octane you might burn up some oxygen sensors..

If you went to the drag-strip, only add enough for each pass to keep weight down..

Gas weighs approx 8+ lbs per gal..

just so you know, octane boosters are a scam.
they only increase octane by a decimal point - not a full point. so if you fill up with, lets say 90 octane, & add a can of "octane boost" it would be 90.1 or whatever amount the can claims. if you want to increase octane, then buy 10 gallons of premium & then top of the rest with 100 octane.

Hmm, I remember filling the tank w/ 100 octane when it was $5/gal. That was in my other ride though, I haven't tried 100 octane in the SS, yet.
