Has anyone tried any of this stuff?? I read a writeup on it and it doesn't seem like regular octane booster, because I guess it really isn't. I have had great success running CAM2 mixed with 93 octane. The car seems to like that "fuel cocktail", but I can get some of the TORCO stuff pretty cheap on fleabay. It would be a more economic solution. Any opinions??? :

Yeah, as long as you can get it for a price that makes it cost effective, it does appear to make some difference. That same report happened to show that the relatively cheap STP booster works to a small degree. It's about bang for the buck. Many boosters don't give much if at all.
