However, higher octane fuel DOES NOT add power. It simply allows you to run more timing and/or boost. I pour in a can of the NOS "off road" formula when I take my blown Mustang to the track. I'm not looking for it to give me any more power, just a little extra insurance against harmful detonation with 93 pump gas. I've also gone to the track with a 1/4 tank of fuel (4 gal), and added 2 gal of 115 octane race gas. I think the mix of 4 gal of 93 and 2 gal of 115 gave me a mix of roughly 98 octane. The price for the NOS "off road" octane booster is just about the same as two gallons of 115 race gas.
