Default NF Race OCtane Booster

I'm fast running out of octane booster and i wondered if anyone would be interested in a group buy for it. If you are, let me know how much you'd want and i'll get some prices together. Last time we done a gb we got great prices

I'd be after something like 12-16 bottles, a bottle a week for 3-4 months basically.

The UK Importer is Roger Clark Motorsport and it comes in cases of 30 bottles.
It is normally used at 1 ml/litre and in extreme cases 2 mls/litre. Above 3 mls per litre I have been unable to find any gain.
Each bottle is 300mls so enough for six tankfuls at 1 ml/litre if you put in 50 litres at a time. The tanks are 60litre capacity.

If you use 2 bottles a day, how many miles are you doing, what mls/litre do you add. Sounds like there is something wrong there.

On cars with mappable ECUs, best gains are achieved if the car is mapped with the strength of NF you want to run but you must then always use that strength of NF with every tankful.
It clearly works because mapping without and then mapping with NF, always allows more advance which increases torque across the rev range.

Right managed to sort the price out. same as last time £9.50 + vat (£11.16 inc) per bottle. I'll have it all delivered to me and then you can either collect from me at a local meet etc or I can post on. I think postage last time was about a fiver but I'll check and post up so get yer names down. Please ammed amounts if needed and confirm if you will collect from me or need me to post.

I'll leave this running until Friday the 17th of August and then place the order on the monday. You can send me the money either by paypal - please remember though that there's 4% charges to add on, or pay by cash / chq. PM me for paypal adress or address to send a chq to. Can pay by cash if you come along to a meet before we place the order but no cash through the post as it's not a good idea to give naughty postmen extra pocket money

1. MNeame 12 bottles
2. ScoobyDoo69 12 - 16 bottles
3. Cookie - 12 bottles?
4. Jay m a - 5 bottles
5.

O that's great information there harvey! So 12 bottles would last a fairly long time. So I'll have 12 bottles then mate! When it's closed, mneame, send me your addy and I'll get a cheque out to you.

Hi Harvey, does this apply to track use as well? My car is mapped for V-power, but I use booster when doing track time as an added safeguard, I was told it stabilises the octane rating of the fuel? I usually put 1/2 to a full bottle in per tank for track days, is this too much then?

Dill, if it helps my car is mapped to Optimax and 1ml NF, on trackdays I double the dose for safety and have done so for the last 3 years

If anyone is interested i'll look into getting some tubing and suringes (sp) to be able to measure out the correct amount to add, rather than guessing.

let me know.

This stuff must be pretty concentrated if you only put in 1ml per litre ! If there is stuff to measure it out though, that would help greatly.
