I agree with John Banks! I used NF from the day my car arrived in the UK. I can say that every time i carried out Deltadash logs i go 0 Knock correction.

we use/retail both "millers octane+" and "silkolene pro-boost"...
both do exactly what it says on the tin, never had problems with either though most of our customers have a preferred make and reasons they dont buy others (no explanation as some have identical cars but will differ on which is better, personal preference i guess!!)
used in road and race applications and is DEFINATELY detectable especially in high compression applications!!!!!
deals available for scoobynetters

Alyn,

What about using a booster on a standard UK MY99 Turbo? I know imports really benefit from it, but should I use it on a std UK car? Maybe just on track days???

Also, can you give some ideas on prices for a few samples and also larger orders?

Thanks,
Jon

Can you gel ul racing fuel (102) there? 20l or so per tank also does wonders.
