    Yes but my point of this thread is that when using this particular product as an octane booster I have a better performance from my truck regardless of the reason or technology behind it

    I’ve ran a few of those. Yes sir but not all the time. I won in Jackson Mississippi earlier this year USMTS.

    My cousin runs at East Bay, Volusia and BRP a lot. I’ve been following USMTS a lot over the past couple years and even put Jason hughes’s car into iracing. No idea what happened to him this year. I guess he took a break or something. Sadly yall don’t come to florida.

    People need to understand the tech or else it will perpetuate the myth that octane makes the gasoline itself more powerful. That's simply not true.

    My uncle used to say the setup was different based on the tides and moon phase. Low tide meant it dried out faster.

    I understand what you’re saying but that product helped my particular truck run like a scalded dog today

    Shane did real well there this year. My uncle passed and the funeral was on Thursday. Shane loaded up the car and went and won the thirsday night race. He started 2nd on the big A main on saturday and lef half the race then something on his car broke and he ended up pulling it to the infield. Speedway Illustrated did an article on him because he did all that in an 03 Pierce chassis.

    Sorry to hear about your uncle! That’s awesome about the good run and those pierce chassis were tough to beat back then!
