Default OCTANE BOOSTER UNLEADED

Has any lucky soul at any price(at 4.69 per gallon for 100octane isnt exactly cheap)found a true octane booster for unleaded fuel that yields results,even if it costs 20.00+ to treat a tank it would be nice to take on trips where sub 90 octane is the norm.With my new adjustable boost set up I can adjust out detonation to the point 87-89 would work fine but,I would have a HP drop thats very noticeable and I would like to run at least 7.5-9 Lbs.cross country and keep my ponies up there,with an octane booster for all our blown and HI-Compression motors.Sure Hope Our Troops Get Home Soon SAFE and with HONOR and DIGNITY!!!!!! Have a Wonderful day and treat life NICE!! David S.

all our blown and HI-Compression
How high compression are you running? You installed a Supercharger and instead of lowering the compression, you raised it? 7-9 psi on a stock motor is getting to the limit, without raising the compresseion.

What Supercharger are you using and how are you adjusting boost with out changing pulleys? Boost adjustability is usually in turbo charger application...
