I have not ordered it; I did send an email to snow so we will see. If it actually adds another 30-50hp like advertised I will be interested. I do need to know if this is exacerbated like no2 is on turbo cars though.

Found this on a quick search http://www.dsmtalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=189681 seems pretty interesting but I would like to see some more literature on it. Especially how much of this do you mix in a 1 gallon tank and does it matter what meth mixture you are running. A/f are another thing I would want to make sure it didnt affect.

I read on this when searching for Boost Juice. They carry it HERE as well for $30.

What do you guys think about this as well ($7.39)? It says it increases HP & TQ by 5%, which would translate into at least 18-25 HP & TQ for us tune guys. It also mentions that it increase octane by 20%

Technically this would be a great idea if it werent for the fact that RC car fuel is formulated for two-stroke engines and contains typically 10-12% castor oil

Careful....some of these boosters show residue on the plugs. I have seen pink colored insulators on people that use octane booster.

These are not octane boosters, they go in your meth tank and are power adders as they contain nitro methane

I call bs on that product, it goes in your gas. Never seen a gas additive give that much hp (21 for me)

This guy got 19 ft-lbs of torque in an Sti with that same stuff - and he admitted that his car wasn't properly tuned, expecting higher gains if so..

its my understanding that we need 2 bottles for a gallon and you have to use a 50/50 methanol mix, is this correct?

Yep- that's what I read on the Snow forums. That's pretty pricey - about $60 just to fill up one average meth tank with this stuff.
