a 12:1 wouldn't be good on your bottom end either..and prolly 104 octune would be required

yep it would work....octaine raiser i forget the exact name...but my 1 friend ran it in his shee...its the cheap way out of race fuel. although i would not recomend it unless ur hard for cash because its not as clean as pure race fuel with all those chemicals....

I don't think I would use it every fill up, because of the other additives in high octane gas besides the octane. :D

that octane boost stuff yousee in auto parts stores will bump the octane aprox 3 points, and will treat 16 gallons, so if you ran a swuper that was 92 octane with the additive you would be 95 I actually use a similar product made by NOS that is there offroad octane boost bumps it by 7 points and I buy ultra fuel I belive it is 94 octane so it pushes me over 100 octane for aprox $2.50 per gallon including the additive
