has anyone used these octane boosters you add to your tank?? do they work? or is it just another rip off product?
it has been tested on TV.. but they had no way to advance their timing for the ignition spark so it showed up no gain, and they called it a fail!! if you can add advance timing into your setup, it could produce a little gain... best bet is to just get a ECU with two maps.. one for race fuel or meth and a second map for pump fuel.. or 2 factory ecus.. one re flashed for race fuel and a second you would plug in for pump fuel?? just a few options if fuel is where you want to get your power from... another thing to read up on is water injection, although i do not recommend DIY kits.. pro kits are cheap enough these days and the pump technology is good too.
yeah your right rich, after looking more into these products what a load of crap! just another skank!
as for the water injection, suppose it only works better with a turbocharged engine, my galant is n/a.
id say yes it would work better on a turbocharged engine but the theory behind it still suggestes protection against pingging/detonation when advancing you ignition timing which in turn should create extra power. as well as steam cleaning your head and bores. then perhaps looking into skimming the heads for a little more compression could become a option so long as the valves have the clearance.
not 100% sure on this, im just putting it out there for conversation.
On your n/a Galant you don't need to worry at all. Just get normal 95 octane.
