I would advise NF (as I sell it!). Had my car mapped today and the mapper could get more ignition advance out of my car, using esso SUL and NF, than he could his Group N rally car, running ELF 102 ron.

hi john...
i currently use millers octane plus (with optimax)... i get mine from a local supplier. http://www.millersoils.co.uk should tell you where your local one is. i put one bottle in with each 50L tank of petrol... cost is around £3-3.50 iirc (for the millers, not the petrol obviously!
)
nf is another popular option... i havent tried it yet but intend to as its great by all accounts... see http://www.newagemotorsport.com
and yes, mapping will help if you're looking to improve performance... try http://www.brdevelopments.com/link.html for more info on one particular mappable ecu...
regards...

We sell Millers Octane + (so I'm biased), and it is £2.20 + VAT per bottle, far easier to use than any of the others (one bottle = 1 tankfuk), and have tried the others and not got on as well with them performance wise.

Of course I am. The testing is being done and was estimated at 2 weeks, (about a week ago), I'll let you know how it turns out.
The Millers has already been extensively tested and came through with flying colours.
Don't forget Millers make FIA approved fuel additives).
