With the Fact that Silkolene only say 2 point increase, (its handy having a mate work there as its 5 mins away ) and optimax only gaurenteed 98.0 RON i would say full strength.

i thought one can per tank aswell...

NicH, full mixture would mean around 1.8 litres per tank full, nearly 2 cans... I think i will change to nitrous formula if this is the case cos that works out to around £12 of booster per tankfull... bit too pricy for me...

is this right or is my maths a load of **!! ....?

A can will give almost 2% dosing which Silkolene say will give 2 RON points.

Adding more will give diminishing returns.

Pro boost is MBTE and Toluene, the actual chemicals in petrol that are added to make its RON rating

Sorry i haven't got back to you, been away for a few days.

As its based on Toluene, then you need a greater volume, thus a greater cost to reach the 2 RON increase, MON rating is increased by 1.2 i think.

60mls of NF per tank will give the same effects for under £3.00 and feels more effective, i have used pro boost for years in MotoCross Bikes but have changed to NF as its much easier and better for the bike.
