Silkolene Proboost IMHO around £8.00 per litre & really makes a dfference.

NF is the dogs doo dahs BUT cost £13/300mlbottle. 100ml is adequate for 1 tank. When i was using it i got NO knock correction whatsoever.
Good stuff. Worth a try.

Silkolene Proboost has been shown in some trials to make virtually no difference to octane rating

At the moment I am using Pro Boost, but I have also got some Wynns.

I work for an oil company and they have test engines I will give them a sample of fuel with additive and will post the results.

Rocketman in the review I read(I think it was on the Australian sight autospeed?)NF Racing formula(black bottle)was the best.I also happen to use it.Though all trials etc can be biased I also found that alot of the guys on here that have heavily tuned Scoobs ie real 350+ BHP seem to use it.It is expensive but you do have to use less of it(ie ml of OB to ml of petrol) and so does''nt work out much more expensive.Hope that helps,Deep.
