Default Octane Booster W/Nitro methane = Noticable difference

I have been using this stuff every now and then, anad there is a definate difference in feel. It also feels much smoother for me on acceleration. Without it, the car has a kind of raspy feel. But with it, it is clear as day. I even think my exhaust sounds a little different with it. I will post a pic when I take it.

CA = 91 Octane

So for us that can get 93 and 94 easily probably isn't worth it.

Here in Cali, we only have 91. So I feel, that I must use it, and Hey turbo power, I was looking for technical types of responses. I forgot to mention that I have NA mods on the car with tuning, and was looking for more info on that.

US law requires that octane ratings at the pump be:

(RON + MON)/2

so we're comparing apples to oranges here.

The octane booster claims that with 10 gallons it will jump you up 7 points, but I think it might be less than that, so I use a full bottle with like a half a tank, plus it has the nitro in it. The bottle actually states that it is not legal to use on the street. Ha!
