do a search on this site for octane booster.. It's not going to make you any faster and no you don't have to tune it. in fact it's probably not going to do anything for you... :ermm:

I agree. The only thing it's going to "burn" is a hole in the pocket...

First, a note on octane in general. Octane does not equal power. A higher compression engine will require more octane in order to run, but the extra power comes from the increased compression, not the octane.

So, with the stock engine, higher octane won't do jack.

Second, octane boosters are generally junk. They aren't all that effective, and the additives can gum up your engine. There are a few additives that increase compression effectively without a whole lot of negative side effects, but they are few and far between. Most octane boosters are full of aromatics and garbage that can actually cause worse performance.

Waste of money.

Unless your running 13.5:1 and are on a trip and run out of race fuel. The booster can get you through the weekend.

On a stock quad? It will actually make you loose power.
