Have you ever tried Lucas Octane Booster? It's about $9.00 a bottle and is clearly marked "Not for street use" That should be some indication of how well it works. It's easier to carry on long trips than race gas and it mixes just right with 25 gallons of 91 octane. My 11.5:1 cleveland motor likes it just fine. The carb mixture setting is about the same as it is with 110 octane, leaded race fuel.

Lucas octane booster or ANY octane booster NOT work as well as race gas.

I normally agree with Jerry, but have to go with John on this. Over twice the estimate is a little much, I think. I know the purpose of business is to make money, but I have seen shops that have a "sliding scale" for "special" customers that helps make money.It sounds like he was there the whole time and could have been informed along the way that the cost had doubled. I will admit that I am probably not at that shops' income level...but I do sleep well at night.
