How do you know how long it sat on a pallet in the store I have multiple bottles that will be in my possession for 2 years this winter.

Also I’m still struggling with the amount to use as if you aren’t 100% sure of the start octane how do you use the calculator to come up with a rate?

I also find that the calculator is focused on how much it’s going to cost and doesn’t tell me how many ounces to add to a tank of gas

I tend to over analyze things but it’s not cut and dry as far as I can tell

Use the simple calculator on the app, select how many gallons or liters to treat, starting octane and the octane you want to get to, it will tell you exactly how many oz to put into those gallons.

If you data log you can see exactly how much timing is being pulled. Its typically in .2 degree increments. Perfect for people like us who overanalyze things.

I find Boostane last a long while, with my setup I dont need any to keep timing at bay until you get really greedy on the power levels. I can run big power levels (more than the average guys) on straight 91 octane, so the Boostane is for those times you get lesser quality fuels. But on the sleds I get thru here that want to flash the dash or pull timing, Boostane is the clear ticket. I've had a case of Boostane here for years and it still does what it supposed to do, even if the can has been opened and sitting for a year. Seems like really good stuff to me. I buy right from Boostane when they have a Black Friday sale, typically 20% or so off. They have sales thru out the year too, just sign up for their email notices.

I add 4 to 5 oz of Boostane per full tank of supposed 91 Octane. When running wide open on the 300 tune the data logging at times will still show up to just under 1degree of timing retard at the end of a 12 sec run with no ping counts or knock lights but thats as much timing retard I have seen so far with that amount of Boostane mix.

That's a lot of boostane.
Are you running the professional series?
I am.
Is it picking up track noise?

Yes I use nothing but Professional or Marine Boostane.
Don't think its track noise.
I feel its all based on the actual octane of the pump fuel we are getting and thats why I base all my Boostane additive on 87 octane even though I buy nothing but 91....supposedly. Most of my data logged full throttle runs show little or no timing retard.

1/2OZ per gallon is 4number increase...this is all thats needed, soo a 10 gallon tank would be @ 5OZ

Thats what I have been using...chart says it brings 87 octane to 93 so I am hopefully covered for unknown fuel.

If you're talking about Boostane Professional below is chart. We all have to make some assumption on what octane we're starting with.

 

[1nc 2000]

That's the chart I use.
91 to 94 octane using boostane professional calls for 0.17 oz per gallon.
When I fill up usually its about 5-6 gallons of gas. So 1 oz is plenty.

You don't know what gas your are getting, you only know what it is marketed at, and what you need (octane). It comes down to how much you trust what it says on the pump in most cases and what is available if you even trust the pump. If you turn that chart around and read it as 'Desired octane' to 'Pump octane' (backwards) it may be easier to think about how much insurance you need to buy through adding more boostane. e.g. the pump says 91 and you actually need 91 but for the purpose of comfort, I should add at least 2 octane points for comfort so to add 2 octane points I need .13 oz per gallon (professional).

An example. You know you need 91, the pump says 87, you would feel more comfortable with a bit of headroom so you want 5 octane points instead of 4, you add .44 oz of Premium or .32 oz of professional (sorry boostane for appropriating your logo)

Moral of story is this product works. I monitor personally based off data logging and use accordingly. We have garbage gas in northwoods

 

[Doc Harley]

Guys running larger IC's, didn't you notice any less booster requirement?

 

[Trailleader]

There are a lot of variables
Fortunately the 998 is good with lower octane than other tuned up motors

 

[Doc Harley]

Agree... I just thought some of the more detail orientated users would have documented this very precisely.
Idk...

 

[Trailleader]

Related to needing more fuel there
Your bigger pump

Question is: what is "lower"?

 

[Trailleader]

1100 wouldn’t run at the hp levels 998 does with pump
