BOOSTane ??
 

Anybody using BOOSTane or other brand octane boost with good luck ?? With the crap fuel and even more nowadays gunna use a additive every fill up
thanks

I have Friends that use it and swear by it, all in Super Charged Boats, I have not tried it yet but might this season in the Pro -Charged boat Max boost is 9 LBS
The 1471 boat uses Race fuel.
Hope that helps you a little,
I would like to see what others say as well, as I don't have any first hand experience with it.

Many thread in the General Discussion on Boostane.

I have ran it in the Cuda (I use the marine formula) and have had good luck out of it but I have not raced with it yet. Normal cruising and some hits on the street I could not tell much difference between the boostane/93 mix and VP C14 btw engine is a high compression stroker small block
Thanks Chris

Boostane is a true real deal octane booster that won the 2014 SEMA Award (do a google search)---it was actually invented by Dave Wesseldyk of WESCO Marine in Jenison, Michigan---a small town suburb area just southwest of Grand Rapids, Michigan. He invented Boostane with offshore boaters in mind to help with the poor quality of gas you might get at a marina or gas station---it works in other gas engines too, even snowmobiles. Kieth Eickert even endorses Boostane on his website if that means anything.

Dave was a World Class throttle-man in the offshore racing circuit since the 1990's designs and builds some very sophisticated marine hi-perf engines.

When I was playing with a tune on my RX-7 I was needing better than 93 octane for the map, so went and researched most of the octane boosters (but NOT Boostane) and was amused to find that, once you got past all the b.s., the 'real' increase in octane amounted to ONE TENTH of a point. Evidently Boostane is better than this, according to the reviews?

Kept a couple of cases on hand in the boat for those times in need of marina gas. Worked well and did the job. 525 sc’s and 675 sc’s.

That is correct, the junk stuff raises octane in the tenths of points. Boostane is the real deal. I used it on lakes with only 87 available and added it to get around 95+ as needed. I run wide band full time and it did not affect the sensor either.

Oh so now Dave Whistledick is a chemist ??? lol:lolhit:
omg some of you michigan guys really think that guy is the second coming.

:popcorn: Did you have a bad experience? Ive heard mostly great things. Chemist...lol

Curious why the negativity and hate too??

I can get into this with a mountain of proof/pictures/parts of the hackery but I just don`t wanna go down that rabbit hole so I will leave it at that .

all the best new products are invented in a ratty pole barn in a dirt parking lot behind an auto repair shop by a guy who screams at customers who dare ask for their untouched engines back after sitting in a pile for four months.

Well your claims made me Google it.
I'm no Wesseldyk cheerleader or critic.
But the only association I can find in print associating Wesseldyk to Boostane is in this thread below.
The link takes you to post # 44 appearing to be the founder and one of the engineers. His profile in second link.

Wesseldyk did post in reply #35 (quoted below) of that thread where by his wording he does appear to take credit for the product.
Is Ian part of the team?
Or was the "team" Ians?

How come my screen name comes up in quotes in many of the schit storms ? Gawd, I am a dick ! Lolololol

It appears Boostane and Driven Oil entered a collaboration.
Share same address.
Read at this Link.

Says his dad had an offshore team.
Anyone know who that is?

Driven was Gibbs Racing, no ?

damm due… like yeah 😂

Didn’t quite find who his dad is yet, but found this quick search :
”When Lehn and Boostane’s business development manager Anthony Caputo were in college at Georgia Tech, the two were racing offshore powerboats. One of the challenges was finding fuel with enough octane for the twin supercharged big-block Chevrolet engines in their 46-foot catamaran. They also had to deal with transporting race fuel in 55-gallon drums and getting them down to the dock to refuel the boat.”

Yes

instead of water/meth injection , how about just boostane. seems like a good idea to me

Why the name calling on Dave's name?...also, correct me if I am wrong, but I think you have even admitted that you use or have used Boostane here on OSO.

Chemist or not, Dave W IS the actual lone inventor of Boostane. I think you have mentioned that you have spoken with Keith Eickert at some point lately.

Keith sells Boostane on his website and being the respected offshore marine engine builder that he is, then I highly doubt Keith E would sell it on his website---I would say that is pretty much an endorsement of Boostane. Dave and Keith have known each other for years

Yes, it was the "JAWS" 46' Skater Super Boat Racing Team of which Dave Wesseldyk was the throttle-man and engine builder of the PSI fuel injected supercharged engines since the 1990's. The owner of the 46' Skater was Ian's Dad.

I don’t think dans questioning the quality rather who invented it. I didn’t realize Dave was the sole creator myself. I thought he tested it and promoted it primarily and perhaps had some input on while dynoing etc. His YouTube videos seem to be proudly displaying it which tells me he is promoting $$$. That’s great… don’t get me wrong.

WHO sent the in-depth email response to SB discussing the boostane.

I'm probably going to need to run 92 in my Mustang build so I created a calculator to justify the cost of Boostane vs Premium. It appears that at the current price of Boostane it is cost effective if 92 premium is $0.30 above 87 regular. Just enter in Boostane price, gas prices and gallons to treat.
Apparently you can not upload spreadsheet to OSO... Here is a screenshot of what I have. Let me know what you think.
