octane booster!

335socal · 08-15-2015, 11:28 PM

So iv been using NOS octane booster w/MMT. I went to autozone today and found this product MADDITIVE by VP racing. Anyone has any exp with MADDITIVE? Its caliming to increase octane to 80 full points/8#.

TheYuriPanda · 08-15-2015, 11:53 PM

It'll raise your octane from a 91 to a 91.5lol if that. Waste of money.

RSL · 08-16-2015, 12:48 AM

Actually, I just happened across it the other day. The main product listing description under madditives says it cleans injectors and is safe for O2 sensors, but the product detail in VP's online store says not for use with converters or O2 sensors. Let us know which is correct lol

335socal · 08-16-2015, 12:59 AM

For me the NOS octane booster is tried and tested. Based on my own exp It cleans up my logs in jb4 map 2 pump flash. Im gonna try the MADDITIVE next gas fill up and will try to log map 2 and map 7 see if it will put me to map 4.

Try out the Torco accelerator too, good stuff but expensive. I had the best experience with MMT ones for daily use (cost wise) and chose to use the Lucas oil Booster purchased on amazon in 12 packs (think I paid $6/ea). Obviously upgrading your lpfp and just running e85 is cheaper in the long run.

Quite a few One Lappers used Octanium to help get through those states where only 91 octane was available.

interesting NOS proved that it increase at least 20 points which is 2 octane but 80 points which is 8 full octane? Hard to believe..

I think its possible coz your dumping 32oz/1quart which is the whole bottle in 10gal of gas.

WedgePerformance · 08-16-2015, 04:40 PM

I tried Torco and I'm sure it increased octane, $ for $ 1 or 2 gal of E85 is a better solution.

if it really increases by 8 oct that means 93 oct + this will hit 101 oct which you can run race map. I'll go to auto zone now and see if they have it..

Yup. 10gal of gas+a whole can of madditive. Log it too. If its not real it will kick you to map 4. Make sure increase your boost limit to 21 or 22.

Well see. VP is ver reputable company when it comes to racing fuel products.

Gizm0 · 08-17-2015, 07:24 PM

I use Lucas Oil octane booster when I get shitty gas at the pump. I have done some before/after logs at 17psi and you can clearly see the timing drops on all 6 cylinders before because of knock. After adding the Lucas Oil octane booster, timing looks perfect on all cylinders, no knock.

Only downside with any octane booster is it will make your spark plugs turn orange/maroon color... Not sure of all the side effects of this stuff. Lucas oil claims it's safe for O2 sensors but...
