moroso octane booster ?

has anyone had any experience using moroso octane booster , or any similar product ? it would be nice to get the extra octane points without having to go and buy racing gas . any info would be appreciated.

I used it years ago to compare with Sunoco 103 gasoline in my 1962 356 Super 90 (Back when you could still pump 103 octane Sunoco on just about any street corner). I wasn't impressed.

Terry, come on up to Michigan, we still can pump 103 and in some stations 107 right into your tank! I can still get 110 with lead (for off road agricultural use only!) at a few stations too! Mind you this is out in teh boonies, don't know if you can get it anywhere near Detroit....

David,

Seriously, the booster I used way back in the 70's actually had lead in it, but as I said, my 356 preferred the real thing.

My last time on One Lap of America, we ran out west and knowing that our 400 HP small block Chevy wouldn't like the gasahol out there, we took several cans of Moroso booster with us. Of course, it no longer has lead in it. After using it for about three tankfulls, we concluded that while it didn't hurt anything, but there was no measurable improvement over what was coming out of the pumps....The small block didn't like it either way.

Later on I read a technical analysis of what was in it and the author concluded that the minimal gain in octane wasn't worth the cost and/or trouble of carrying the stuff around and remembering to pour it in the tank.

Hope this helps.

Reference,,,,

If the octane booster claims 4 points or 5 points etc. Each point is 1/10 of a real octane number. In other words, if the booster claims 4 points and you're using 92 octane, the net result is 92.4 octane, not 96 octane. That's a fact!!!!!
