Race Gas

Has anybody tried race-gas (race-gas.com)? I am wondering if it really produces the desired results.

Any other suggestions for octane boosters?

Am I correct in assuming that higher concentration of any additive also means higher octane rating of the fuel. If so, what is the maximum concentration safe/meaningful to use?

Thank you for your insights.

I use Torco Accelerator , I get 6 pack bottles from Amazon for $125~.
I GUARANTEE that one works. Also, NOS w/ NitroMethane works too according to Terry from BMS -- but I learned about both from Terry, and I went with Torco and it definitely does increase octane and power.

I put about 2 bottles of Torco per full tank.

I use BMS 3.5 with 93 Octane. What setting do you recommend with 93 + Accelerator or just leave it at 3.5?

Thanks

Leave it at 3.5, the ECU will auto adapt after a few start cycles and will give you more boost than you are making now, without you making any other changes.

Here's exactly what I order:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

There's a mixing scale on their website and on the bottles themselves.
I don't bother trying to sort it out and just put more (wont hurt, its only concentrated fuel)

I think 1 entire bottle per our 18 gallon tanks is enough to raise octane to 96 or 100.
