Re: Octane Booster

Posted by Steven R. Rochlin on November 14, 2005 at 23:17:52:
Octane alone does not equal more power. Your car needs to compensate the combustion timing as well to handle it. There is a lot of discussion about this on the Internet, though most of it is from people who have no clue (kinda like audio IMHO). Ask a REAL expert and learn why simply adding higher octane does not ALWAYS equal higher output. You'll need more aggressive cam timing and, oh yeah, hope your rings and valves can handle it all.
Too many people think adding octane alone is better (you know, more is better)...
