3.27 FATS with 94 + Octane Booster!

pdominguez · 11-21-2005, 04:22 PM

I decided to test out an Octane Booster to see if it worked. The thought was that if I was in a pinch and couldn't find Sunny 94, I could fill up on 93 and drop some Octane Booster to get 94 (car runs so much better on 94...).

So on my next fillup I put in NOS Racing Octane Booster (10.99 @ Autozone). Supposedly, this would get me to aproximately 96 Octane or so:

My previous FATS best was 3.57 on .25 tank of 94 @50F. With the Octane Booster @ 30F and a .25 tank, I dropped 3 tenths to 3.27!

I also reached my new high MAF reading of 318.5 g/s.

According to the HP graphs, that's around a 50HP gain going from 3.5 to 3.2.

That was just a 2 octane increase, I'm wondering what my FATS time would be on 104?

Guess the right octance boosters really work...

I hope that's right as that means my car is a lot faster than I thought it was!

But the only variables that changed between my 3.57 run and the 3.27 runs was temp (20 degrees cooler) and Octane Booster. I ran at the exact same location for both.

different times because it's not as exact with data samples far apart.
