I am not an expert in this area but what are you running spec wise ? is it what your profile says ?

I would have thought you should be running Optimax and Booster everytime you fuel up........

there are various brands (some swear by one over the other) but Halford sell it and it tells you on the bottle what mix to use

Only really needed if your running a modded engine / jap import, standard UK models are happy with Optimax

Judging by your user name you might just need it

It is normaly a pot full per fuel tank i believe..... if you got a little judder then by the sound of it you need that little extra and then you will fly for sure !!!!

I think your looking at around £4 a pot everytime you fuel up, maybe someone can clarify that.

Drop a mail to Chris Garner or Simb they both use it.....
they can advise best, probably pay you to buy a box full at a time may get some discount that way or at the least you will have plenty ready to use and no rushing at the last minute to find some

Richie I use Millers octane boosted, 1 bottle per tank increase's your Ron by 2 units, so that on top of optimax is pretty much the magic 100. Your best to buy in bulk, the cheapest supplier that I know is Scoobymania.
I will put a link up for you later.

me and my cousin use nitrox street legal booster with our STI 5s. It works just as well as the FN ? booster he was using before but which is a nightmare to get hold of now.
