"Rockoil boost" octane booster
#3
Just been in Gordon Farley Motorbikes in Ash Hampshire - he has loads and does me 6 litres of Silkolene Pro Boost for £40. Just bought a new load today.
I use 1 can a tank for everyday driving 2% and get a little bit of knock if I hammer it over 7000rpm. I use 1.5 cans for Santa Pod etc.
Cheers,
David

I've been using Proboost in my Sti3 until yesterday. I found out from a reliable source that proboost causes the engine to run too hot, and can damage no.3 piston/cylinder. He recommeded Millers VSL which doesn't cause this problem. One of his cars is a 600BHP 930 Turbo, which he's run at 218mph at Santa Pod last year - he seemed pretty knowledgable on the subject, he said that he had carried out extensive tests on various octane boosters and Millers proved the best, - cooler angine and more BHP. The standard dose gives 3 octane ie. with SUL that would give 100 octane, compatible with JAP SUL that WRX's and STI's are designed to run on.
Cheers, hope this helps
