No problem Bill. I once saw videos of an FF5 Cobra replica driven by one of the Smith brothers at Run n Gun...flipped over and slid on it's rollbar....upside down ..at speed.
The driver crawled out , they flipped the FF5 back on it's wheels
duct taped about 25% of it's body and went on to win an event.
That video did not upset me at all. I felt good after that.

I have tried Outlaw, 104 and 108 Octane boost as well as the Pep Boys brand just for fun. I never noticed an increase in performance that I could actually feel. I once tried 6 gallons of Cam 2 110 at the track but I do not think there was any gain there. I heard you can gain if you can can get a few degrees advance out of using the higher octane. I am running pretty high compression and felt timing advance may not be worth it if the product only raises tenths of a point. I would be fearfull to try the toulene mix.....with my skills. I still add the 104 booster once in a while. Better to run 93.1 then 93 right ? Wasn't there research done by on a performance website where octane boosters were actually performance tested ?
Perhaps the boost additives just make us feel good ...kind of like the old Marvel Mystery oil days !
