Default Anyone usung octane booster in their 1,350's?

Having a hard time getting 93 on the water up in Fort Lauderdale. A few places have 90. Anyone using any octane booster that is acceptable for these situations?

I have no experience with this company but Boostane is a sponsor of our Boyne Thunder poker run this year. Just thought I would share. Boostane.com

Quote from thier website says dont get stuck w 90 octane at the marina. 5 gallons of boostane takes 520 gallons of 90 to 95.

Dave Wesseldyke, Wesco Racing engines has hundreds of dyno pulls testing and validating this product. He would be the best source of factual information.

Another option is rig a transfer pump in the boat (pretty easy) and add 25-30% 110 race gas that moves your blended Octane level to 93. We like the added benefit that 110 is available leaded. Leaded fuel may or may not work with 1350's.

This is only octane booster I would even consider trying.

You can get no lead 104 and put it in the transfer tank.

Any octane booster with MMT (including BOOSTane, Torco, Turbo 108, Lucas, NOS, etc) will effectively raise octane.

MMT is the active ingredient you're looking for...

Thank you! Do I have to worry about damaging the motor using these? The brand the local speed shop carries is Dragon racing

Check locally to see if there is a truck that can deliver 93 oct right to your house. My Father lives in Marco Island and he had a guy that would come to the house as long as he bought a 100 gallon minimum. Good Luck and beautiful MTI!!
