Octane Booster

Post by JustinP » Sun Sep 22, 2019 4:23 pm

Hey all - silly question. I have some trips coming up where getting premium fuel might not always be an option. Is it safe to use an Octane Booster in a pinch? And, if so, any suggested brands?

After a bunch of reading, seems Lucas is the way to go.

I've used OB in a pinch on previous bikes and haven't had an issue. I try not to over use it of course.

I have been using ACES IV gasoline formula for a number of years in all my vehicles (including my H2). I had a 2006 Chrysler 300C SRT8 custom tuned (Hemifever tune using Diablosport tuner) to 93 octane fuel and was able to safely use that tune on 89 octane with ACES IV (datalogged results). In fact, Mr. Hemifever suggested to continue using that particular fuel (I no longer believe all fuel is created equal).

I have no association with Brian at BND Automotive other than as a very satisfied customer. My experience is limited to street driven, real world, before/after, datalogged, engine performance results.
