NoS do an Octane booster. It comes in 3point or 7 point bottles, therefore pushing 98ron petrol up to 101 for the 3 point etc. It worked wonders in the Focus so thought i'd give it a go in the Scoob.

Octane boosters don't actually give that much gain. went through all this when i got my first import. There's been a few threads on it. But better to add it to be on the safe side. i always used a bottle per tank. Good for extra flames

Yeah I can see why zak thinks the gasket is going but I hope its just where I mixed to coolents which made everything go a funny colour, fingers crossed I'm doing the coolent change in a min.
Thanks zak for not mapping it as if it went bang that would be worse
yop man for the heads up

another quality local day out, lots of nice cars. Them veedub crew certainly now how to slam their cars! Some of them were literally an inch from the floor
Anyway the RWYB, i managed to beat my best last time out my fastest run was 13.71 @ 98mph which im quite pleased about. Still didnt break the 100mph barrier, maybe next time hey? (after a sneaky remap!)
Darc was in the 12's again but couldnt seem to go quicker than last time, i think he hit 12.6 twice although there was a very strong headwind that probably didnt help
Here a few camera pic phones
