Anyone use NOS products or that pennzoil octane boost? What about 104+ Racing formula?

I used 104+ last season it better work for 12 bucks jug.

I ran 104 plus in my modded machz for 3 years with no problems.

What fuel octane did you require and what fuel octane did you run with the boost Mighty RX-1?

check out this site:http://www.gnttype.org/techarea/misc/octanebooster.html
look at formula 1 and 2,
Do you think octane booster is worth the big coin now.IMO no

Hey mightyRX1... i just saw ur sig... ill take that amsoil!!! hehehe :p :D sorry guys i was off subject.

Why do you need to run higher octane? Unless your sled is highly modded, it is a waste of money. Octane is a rating of prevention of detonation (blowing up). Moded engines require this because they have tighter tolerances. The important point is the it is not necessarily true that higher octane has more power. This is a common misconseption. If you want to run higher octane because you want more power then you are mistaken. If your engine is modded for higher power, you may need to run higher octane. Whomever did the mods should be able to tell you what octane you need. Premium gas is fine for a stock motor. You most likely will not go any faster with higher octane fuel.

Find the latest American Snowmobiler Magazine. It just came out. There is a full page article on this subject. I can make a copy and e-mail it to you if you'd like...You would have better results with a gas additive then octane boost pending what your goal is for performance. Bladeguy above this reply is correct. It comes down to compression and what the engine is built to use for gas.

I'm with BLADEGUY. Adding a higher octane to your fuel does not necessarily mean that there is more energy in your fuel. Higher octane fuel is less prone to knocking or pinging when you are riding with a "wide open" throttle. If you can remember back to when lead (Tetraethyl Lead) used to be added to fuels, that was when compression ratios in engines used to be higher. Lead has now been phased out for pollution reasons, and for the most part engine manufacturers have dropped compression ratios in engines.

I don't spend any more on fuel, or additives for that matter, than what is necessary. If you rejet and adjust for elevation and applicable temperatures, this is by far better than dumping your money for octane boost.

Just a note, I've seen pulled valves from automobiles that had a high amount of carbon built up on them, because the owners thought they were doing the engine a favour by running 90+ octane fuel in the car all of the time. It is not necessary, just follow what your sled manufacturer says to use for an octane.

But, on XC EDGE 800, there are the choice of the adjustment of the timing, simply while turning the ignition key with the good position, according to the octane level employed. There are two level for this adjustment. Then if octane is added, turn on the ignition key at full octane, the result is much better!!!

XCPower, I'm willing to bet that it has nothing to do with the octane giving you power, but all you are doing is simply advancing your timing on your ignition. Octane would help in this instance to prevent pre-detonation only for the simple fact that when you advance the timing of any engine you risk pre-detonation, this is the pinging that you hear. Adding octane will cure the ping, but the octane is not your power source, your timing being advanced is your power source.

Agreed, it affects timing according to octane gas, not booster.

I've also used the 104+ when I can't get 91 octane and it seems to work.
