Has anyone used this? Any pros or cons? My friend poured it into his G35 and he was very impressed. Any problems running this on a rotary?

Studys have shown its basically snake oil. It does raise your octaine levels but not like it describes at all. It doesnt even raise it WHOLE points of octaine, just a fraction of one. I.e. .20 instead of 2 octaine levels.

Just find a sunnoco that sells 98 unleaded race gas. There are 3 around me that sell it and its the highest UNleaded you can get. Its amazing stuff. But its also like 3.50/gallon.

Also if you remove the cat in your car and put in a straight pipe, go to a race track and fill up with 101 leaded gas lol.

Just like the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus there is no such thing as Liquid Horsepower.

Pro's: If I own a shop that sells it I just made some money off you.
Con's: It sucks to spill it on your clothes or on the fender of your car.

Like i said earlier, i mostly agree. But if your car is well tuned, typically higher octaine gas helps performence, especially if its a high compression motor. So 98 unleaded gas will give you some performence compared to 91.

But octaine booster is just a waste of money, it is neglegible at best.

I figure that people who have the NOS stickers on the side of their cars would benefit most from this. Whaddya' think?
