Default Octanium – The Most Powerful Race Fuel Concentrate Available!




And, I am proud to announce that Gulf Coast Performance is now a dealer!

It’s time for the monopoly to move over for a new and improved product! I’ve been watching and waiting for the development of this stuff for the last few months and it is now available to the public!

In 2006, a team of leading automotive tuners, drivers, and scientists came together with a single goal: create the world’s most powerful octane booster for gasoline powered, high performance vehicles. After countless hours in the lab and on the dyno, a powerful formula emerged: Octanium! No other major brand additive can match Octanium for true, measurable increases in gasoline octane. Using Octanium can raise 93-octane gasoline up to 100 octane; dramatically more than any other additive.

The proprietary blend of ingredients in Octanium is designed to eliminate detonation and pre-ignition by stabilizing and modifying the burn rate of gasoline and increasing the autoignition temperature of the air/fuel mixture. Octanium is the ideal product for high performance factory or custom engines that require the chemical properties of a race fuel to achieve maximum power and reliability. Octanium works great with high-compression normally aspirated engines and supercharged, turbocharged, and nitrous assisted engines. Whatever you drive, Octanium helps your car, truck, SUV, motorcycle, or watercraft run at peak engine performance.

• Comes in 32 oz. brushed aluminum container

• Treats up to 15 gallons of gas. Save $$$$ from race gas!

• Safe for oxygen sensors and catalytic converters

• Reduces hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions

• Cleans injectors & combustion chambers of carbon deposits

• Lower cost on a per ounce basis than the competitors

• Independent lab tested, verifiable results. The only octane booster that will actually perform as advertised

• Lower cost on a per ounce basis than the competitors

For a limited time to introduce the product here are the prices! Shipping is outrageous these days so I will cover some of it.

One bottle - $21.95 shipped
Four pack - $72.95 shipped
Race Case - 12 Bottles (Buy 11, get the 12th at no charge) - $197.45 + $5 for shipping = $202.45 shipped!

In stock for immediate shipment!

Orders can be placed here or by calling 832-385-9622. Thanks! Jason

What's the difference between this and Torco?

Funny, this was my first question as well. This product is new and improved not to mention the lab tests show it to be more powerful.

I'd be interested in this but would the computer adjust to the higher octane fuel and then the car would make more power, even if you're already using high octane 93 fuel with a stock tune? My understanding from some of the "spirited" octane threads is that higher octane is a waste unless the car is tuned to accommodate it. Perhaps that just applies to the older carburated cars.

My car happens to have an aftermarket tune, so perhaps in my case this stuff may actually enhance it, provided I'm on the right track here.

Regardless, good luck with the product.

The PCM will blend between high octane tables and low octane tables depending on detonation. If you're getting no detonation at all, you're already getting the most performance you can out of your car without a change in tune or other operating parameters such as compression, air/fuel, spark, etc.



Very interesting product for track days or other events where the car will be run hard and detonation must be avoided!

This may be the ticket when I travel out of state and can only get 91 octane. 12:1 is not fond of 91 octane...

This concentrate is designed to enhance the performance of the fuel. It raises the octane level which in turn reduces the chance of having detonation. Detonation occurs when the air/fuel mix burns in an out-of-control manner at extremely high speeds which in turn creates a jump in the cylinder pressure thus causing burnt pistons and catastrophic failure. Knocking in a engine is not good.

Cheap gas is bad for these cars and this additive is designed with our spirited drivers in mind. To answer your question, no you would not have to have a special tune to run the stuff as you do not have to have a tune to run race gas at the track. This just helps you with a little added insurance. Tuning the car with this in tank would certainly yield a better result but keep in mind, if you fine tune a car that much you will always want to run this.

I don't see the big deal. I only pay $7.50/gal for race fuel!

I had not really thought about an additive instead. It sure is a lot more convenient. Hmmmmm

Sounds like a good product but it's pretty expensive. I get Torco for about $15 per 32 oz. can and a 5 gallon pail is about $190.

I guess those fancy aluminum cans add to the cost. I bought a six pack of Torco in steel cans and then get the 5 gal. pail and transfer it into the 32 oz. cans.

Torco converts 15 gallons of 91 octane to 96 octane.

My WRX suffers horribly on 91 octane. How much of a bottle do you think would fix the gas to ~93/94?

Any links with hard data, Jason? Preferably a comparison between this and Torco? I like the idea of 100 octane for less than race gas.

Torco does not! It will raise 15 gallons 91 octane gas to 93. It will raise 93 to about 94.5. Big differnce.

If this will raise 91 gas to 96 I would be very happy. To get the same affect of blending 104 unleaded to 91, I would have to use have to use 6 gallons of 104. One can of this cost $21.95 and one gallon of unleaded 104 costs $7.20. Do the math

Will be soon EG, working on how to do that. I'm trying real hard not to make this a war between the two top contenders cuz that is not my intention. I'm just offering a product that has been proven to be a little better.

As far as the costs associated, it is my understanding that this product is a little cheaper with relevant amounts to Torco.

I'll see if I can get this answered for you.

[(x gallons * octane 1) + (y gallons* octane 2)]/ (x+y gallons) = blended octane


if 32 oz (0.25 gallons) makes 15 gallons of gas go from 93 to 100 octane that means the octane rating of Octanium is:

[0.25 x + (15*93) ]/15+ 0.25) = 100
[0.25x + 1395]/15.25 = 100
0.25x =130
x= 520

WOW!!!

I talked with my tuner & he thought that it is well worth a try, so I will order a couple of bottles and run it at the track on March 4th. Normally I run ~100 Otcane, so good or bad, I will post my feedback here.
