RE: Octane Boost
Eric,
There are several types of octane boosters, and I am definitely no
expert. For my Firebird, I must add octane or in knocks on pumped gas.
For it, I import the "good stuff" which is illegal in California. This
adds lead (chemical called tetratheydelene, or something), and jumps octane
into the high 90's. I buy this by the gallon, luckily, the Firebird is my
secondary car. I can say that adding the typical octane booster from the
Quick-E-Mart didn't do a damn thing for my Firebird. From what I hear,
some of the octane boosters you can get at the store actually work, but it
depends on what chemicals are used. I believe that that product named 105
Octane (or something like that) is supposed to be the best. I haven't had
to use the octane booster yet in the M3, since Jim's chip is so well
designed. 8^)
Anyone else out on the Digest have any comments???
