What is the crack with Millar's octane boost. Is it worth putting it in my 01 wrx or should i keep running on optimax only??

Are you guys using this as a fuel supplement for imports?

Or 0-60 & 1/4 sprints?

Millers is for beginners.

NF is the way forward.

No *need*, agreed. But still definitely worth doing!! If you want a smoother engine with noticeably more kick. Put a bottle of NF in, you won't look back. Trust me.

Have to agree NF is the only one worth using, but not a whole bottle at a time

Pippyrips, is your WRX a JDM or UK market car? If the former, Super/Optimax plus decent booster is a requirement unless you have a KnockLink installed, or your car has been remapped for UK fuel.

If the latter, octane booster simply isn't necessary for normal usage, the cars are mapped to give optimal performance on 97 RON fuel...
