Currently using Millers octane + and fancy a change.

What size does proboost come in and how much is required per tank ?

Is the octane increase the same as Millers ?

Approximate price ?

Any info appreciated.

Thanks

Russell

I bought some Silkolene Pro-boost from my local motorbike shop. £8.95 for a 1 litre tin. Haven't a clue about how different it is from the other stuff.

I tipped a whole 1L can in before a fill up with SUL. Didn't seem to make any difference in my P1 though but then that's not what it's all about though, is it ?

Cheers.

Russell,

I've used Silkolene Pro Boost in MY 95 WRX and Millers Octane + and to be honest I didn't notice much difference between the two.

I'm using Millers and I'm happy with that now..

Dosage for Silkolene Pro Boost I was told was half a can for a full tank of Fuel.

Neil

Russell,

Drop by Powerstation when you get a chance, they sell ProBoost, but no idea how much or what quantity to use

Cheers

Ian

From the tin,
<Directions for use: add to petrol between 1%and 3% (1.5% is widely used to combat pre-ignition).>


1ltr tin cost me £9
1.5% in a 60 litre tank is 900ml most of the tin

All I know I'm afraid (apart from that I really noticed a difference after the trackday where I put this in)
