This is bull. They fail to mention how many gallons to blend it with.

Even the 104octane boost at Autozone mentions that it can RAISE the points as high as 4-10points. So if you filled 93, you will get as high as 93.4 to 94 octane.

It would be cheaper to just run 100octane or C14 or better yet, as Justin's thread shows, just make your own.

From a little reading, I am to scared to put it in my tank.

Thanks

Above the description it says that they are 32 oz. bottles and will treat 10 gallons.

He doesn't run it straight (although he originally said he would). I think his ratio is 1 gallon toluene for 6 gallons gas...

Anyway, it definitely made a difference on dyno runs in his EVO Viii

Exactly. These additives are not going to raise it that many points.
