Have ran it in my turbo snowmobiles for years and years, have 93 and 100 octane down the street so I don't use it in my cars, although it's a LOT cheaper than running 100 from the pump

Which seems to work better - Boostane or Torco?

Honestly I think it's a wash. I like both and buy a case at a time. Boostane is a bit more potent (1bottle goes further) but costs more upfront. Both have MMT...

Do you use the Boostane Professional?

If so - how much of that do use per tank?

Thinking about ordering some.

Anyone looking to run these boosters regularly, I highly recommend going with a water/meth setup. Many benefits but as it relates to this, it helps keep your internals clean and negates, if not eliminates the buildup from MMT. An extra XXhp/tq doesn't hurt either!

what caught my attention was no MMT to plug things up.i have gm 100 octane tune.runs fine on 93,but if I can boot it up once in awhile without plugging things up without paying 10$ a gallon would be nice.

Would be interested to hear results of this since it has no MMT. I have Boostane and love it but this would be the best of both worlds if it works.

Is the ratio similar to Torco? I.E. roughly 1oz per gallon to go from 91 to 93 octane?

ratio is 1 oz raises octane 2 and one half times.so I put in 1 quart,"32 ounces" with a fill up from empty which will raise it to 98.started out with 93.it was 52$ shipped for 1 gallon from amazon.so you can get 4 fill ups which is a pretty good deal for the price.
