Default Octane Booster Question

this myb a noob question but by adding octane booster to ur fuel it elevates your octane lvl and i know with a high octane you get a better burn and its resistance to pre ignite so im guessing it will help with KNOCK but will it change your AFRs at all?

Only Lucas Oils Octane Booster works... Bottom line.

Dude the lucas shit does work. It has something in there that actually raises more than half an octane, more like making you have 98 octane. Check that shit out sometime.. run a scangauge and watch your knock

Lucas does work, i use it with 95 octane that we get here locally and add it to 4 gallons in my tank. It uses MMT and they make no claims on how much it raises your octane number other than it takes 10 octane points to raise the octane number 1 point and it is safe for your O2 sensor.
It turns my plugs a funny color.

I had a guy here with a 50trim a while back. Only could do 18-19psi on 93 without KR. Then for the race gas tune he had a 5 gallon jug of 93 that he mixed in ONE can of Torco accelerator. It's supposed to raise your octane to 107. Obviously I don't know the exact octane number, but considering we got 26-27psi out of it with NO knock retard I say it works.

And the mixed 5 gallons was added to the tank which still had 2.5 gallons of 93 in. So I'm a believer in that stuff now.

If that is leaded fuel it will ruin your cat[if you have one] and your 02 sensor.
