    exactly my point... many people think adding an octane booster will add hp..i see kats doing this all the time before going to the track. if your adding it to cure ping, thats one thing, to add it thinking your going to get 10hp more is rediculous

    Shit i'm gonna fill the whole tank with octane boost and i ought to be making some serious fuck'n HP. You boys better get back when you see me roll up to the start line. I'm guessing 450- 500 HP and the torque is gonna be insane. I probably better make my runs in 4WD so i can at least get a little traction but its still gonna roast 'em for an 1/8 mile anyway. Man i can't wait until my (2)pallets of octane boost gets here. Can you say new Titan 1/4 mile record.
