Question

As 'search' is still down......

Where can I get Octane Booster off the shelf, ie NOT mail order. Does Halfords or other stores stock it ?

Ideally somewhere in SE England only please,
Airhead

you could try looking at the local car accessories places not halfords though if you know of any motocross shops they usually stock pro-boost as most of the guys use it. If your going to buy a lot there is a dealer that will sell you it for about £7.50 thats pro-boost can't remember off hand who it was however that will be mail order.
Good Luck

You can get it from Justin/TorqueIC at F1's next to Brands Hatch on any Saturday.

It's Millers Octane Booster and I think it's £30 for 10 bottles (10 tanks).

He will do mail order if you want as well 01233 503298.

Cheers,

Phil

Question

any views on the following two products....

Nitrox HotShot - as sold in Halfords

Putoline - Dutch product sold in the local Honda motorbike shop, supposidly ok for both 2 & 4 stroke engines including high performance engines.

I know millers is a good product, but would the other two be worth avoiding ?

Not to sure about possible engine damage, and why. Just know that lead replacement ones do damage to the catylitic converter (?).

I have used Nitrox a few times in my my01 ,you can definately feel a difference , but I used it initially as a "cleaner" to put through the system. Suffered no ill effects at all.
