Millers is more available, my knocklink proves that higher up the rev range (7k+) i start to get a flickering 2nd green that then goes solid so no problems running it with optimax

NF all the way Chap but you may have trouble getting it as it seems to be as rare as rocking horse doodoo!

Good luck!

Is yours an import? if not I dont think that octane booster is really needed. Curious as to any benifits this would have on a UK car, with exception to knock reduction possibly.

If it is a Jap car then you need octane booster unless it has been re-mapped to run without.
I have had best results with N.F. but it has not always been easy to get. I have some here if anybody is stuck.
Consider getting a Knock Link too, so you know when you have det. Jap Innovations or BRD.

Roger Clark Motorsport are now importing and selling NF Race Formula directly to the public. They have got so fed up with the UK supply chain that they have decided to bring it into the country themselves. It is now available for next day delivery at a very reasonable cost.

Best to ring up Roger Clark as the price depends on quantity. They have had to fly the NF in so it may be a little bit more expensive than others but it is available off the shelf for next day delivery. Taking this into account the price is still competitive.
