I was walking around in pepboys the other day and came across a nitrous express octane booster in one of the isles, it cost around 15.00 USD...anyone ever used this before?

I thought that was an energy drink... didn't know it was actually race fuel

 

neva used it but it just boosts octane, such as like fuel you get at the race tracks.

 

soo if i put 93 octane in my car now and i add that what will the effect be? Basically like puting 100 octane in the car?

Waste of money.
If the car isn't tuned for high octane levels, you won't get anything out of it.

 

that is 100 percent ture, al it will do to our cars is make your exhaust smell funny.

 

Well thats really what i was looking for, dont you wish your exhaust was a freak like mine?

 

usually i smell a stinky tail section and i leave...

 

false. putting octane booster on my LS, i felt a huge difference in acceleration. kinda like the acceleration you get when you hop on a loaner G from Infiniti.

 

^^correct...it does help power...kinda like a safer...cheaper version of nos...but without as much power

 

most of them claim up to 10 points of increase, which is one octane. You will only see a real increase from a 93 to 100 and your car has a 100 octane program on the turbo.

 

What do you mean "has a 100 octane on the turbo"?

If the programming in your computer for boosting and fuel/air mixture is setup properly for the increase in octane it will make a difference. High octane makes the most difference in FI applications, as the higher the octane, the more boost you can push.
And no, the stuff is snake oil, it works b/c you think it's working.
