Octane Additives???

[ApexGTman]

I am installing the MPI Turbo on my 2015 SR Viper RT-X LE and I was wondering about fuel Requirements? At home I can get 91 Octane but I often take longer trips where Premium Fuel is not available. Is there an Additive I should pack, if so what's recommended or are most of the Octane Boosters basically snake oil? Looks like Canadian Tire offers products from STP and the Like that claim 4-6 Points increase in the Octane numbers.

Most octane boosters are garbage. I am told the best one is the Torco brand---I have never tried it

I heard Torco is good but I too would like to know if anyone has good results on any other products.

Is there any vendors on here that sell torco or does anyone know where to get it. I would like to try it also. I also thought about trying the new DandD octane boost.

I am sure Port Yamaha or Ulmer would be able to get it... Ill have to do some checking.

I've used the red NOS octane booster on 2 stroke sleds when I couldn't get premium fuel. Also used it in some cars to eliminate "ping" but I also put in more than recommended. Just my .02

I have used Klotz octane booster for years with good results.

Torco works great. I use it in my turbo sled. I wouldn't touch most of the crap sold in stores. Lucas is supposed to work well though I haven't used it.

I ran Torco last year when I turned the boost up. Got it from Ulmer. Motor is still in one piece!

I have not blown mine up yet either!!!!(AGAIN) I run race gas blended with 91 at 12#'s but did carry Torco last season. I also ran 108 boost as a precaution. I think it is a good band aid I would just not run WOT on 87 gas with a bottle of it poured in.

At least with Torco it has a mix chart for ounces to gallons vs starting Octane # the others say raises Points 5 to 7 per treatment add 1 can to 16 to 21 gallons.

X2 . Ran into some crappy gas last season/ running full SLP setup with fuel commander on a F8.. The sled would basically fall on its face/ detonation protection/knock sensor/ ... Dropped half a can of Klotz in.. Ran great

I think Torko is race fuel concentrate?

Sounds like we need a octane tester. I have watched the state weights and measure guy test octane before. It would be very interested to see if these additives are all they claim.
