You're right justa6, but MMT works whatever its carrier is. It has been used successfully in the unlimited aircraft engines at Reno, general aircraft engines like those in Cessnas and my Stinson, many racers, my 12:1 FE and 10:1 289. Also, keep in mind that octane is not what's it's all about. Some of this stuff "enhances" octane, such as alcohol which cools the air/fuel charge. You've got to know this because your turboed wee6 has an intercooler between the compressor and intake manifold. Another thing: You can hear lowspeed detonation, which is bad. But it's the high-speed detonation that kills engines . . . and you probably can't hear it.
