just run higher octane gas it's much better, octane booster just has additives in that makes your gas run cooler that's all it dose...
check out VP racing fuel, they make this gas called mr9 it's like steroids for motors, it's suppost to give you 8-9% whp....

I know of on e octane booster that does acutally work, Torco. we used to run it in my buddies 721WHP corvetter, its really concentrated OCTANE that kicked ass.
BUT, Hcomras has a point, with you mods its not going to give you any power. the only reason you could justify runnig race fuel is to keep your engine cooler.
the higher the octane the cooler it burns, lower running temp = more HP in a roundabout way. I run VP "late model plus" its 118octane and I mix it 50/50 with 91octane.
only reason I run race fuel is that I get it for 1$/gallon ;p

not that we're talkin about diesel's but i run this stuff called "power source" in all of my farm equipment and my duramax... and as a Cetane booster, man does it work great. I thought I was just imagining things until I put it into one of my tractors that need a certain amount of HP...
anyway its called Power Source - kleen diesel
they make just straight cetane booster, winter start up booster and the injector cleaner...and all of it costs the same/ has the same Cetane booster in it.
