Default Which Octane Booster?

Have been advised to use an Octane booster for a track day on Thursday.

Time is against me so I'll need to pick something up from Halfords and I've posted a link to their product page below.

http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/s...0151&langId=-1

I'll be filled with V Power upon arrival so which would you recommend?

Cheers,

Steve

A quick question.

My car is mapped for V-Power, which I believe is 99 RON

If I use the Millers CVL Turbo, which increases the RON by 4 octane numbers, (so increasing overall quality to 103 RON), will the car still run well, considering what it's been mapped for?

I'm only going to use this for occasional track days as I want to run the engine as safely as possible and prevent detonation.

Thanks,

Steve

Will be fine, will still run assumptions of a 99 map, its just giving yourself some margin for piece of mind.
