Keydiver+Octane booster

[tsitalon03]

I have a keydiver stage 3 with a 93 octane map. I wanna know if I can use octane booster once in awhile. I'm goin to the track tom and think it can help. I emailed Jeff but he hasnt gotten back to me yet.

Are you saying that you would like to run 93 and some octane boost?I'm sure that would be fine. You may have to do some fine tuning to see a difference

Yea I mean a bottle of octane booster....theres a good chance I'll get it 60/40.

Highly unlikely youll get that, do yall have E85 up there?

 

[tsitalon03]

I have a keydiver stage 3 chip on my 91 gsx with a 91 oct tune. I run 93 with oct booster, and I love it. I just turned the boost up to 19(in 2nd-3rd) and 22psi(in 4th-5th) even with 19-20 deg advance up top, I don't knock much if any my 1st pass. Then my stock IC heatsoaks, and I will start getting knock.

Great thanks

99% of octane boosters are crap. There was a thread where a guy posted about some people that tested them. Only one actually worked and didnt do too much.

^^^AgreedI never use them personally. I'd rather buy race gas

I searched this place up and down for oct boosters and here's the basic info.

Most oct boosters ARE crap, and raise the octane 6 points. There's 10 points between each level of octane. So you just went from 93 to 93.6 yyaaayy. haha Some brands raise it 60 points. yes 60. NOS brand has a few different ones, and they have one that raises it 60. I'v also read(but not seen for my own eyes) torco has one that raises it 60 points too. THere are more, just search.

I can't even run 13-14 psi on my ebay 16 on pump with my timing. I use NOS brand oct booster and run 19-22 psi with no knock for the 1st pass. I heatsoak after the 1st pass due to my stock smic. I have about 20 deg advance up top.
