Nissan 370Z Forum  

anyone use Lucas octane booster or any octane booster?

I will definitely have to look into Race Gas if Seb recommends it...I typically run 101 race gas at the track *except* for Auto Club Speedway, where it's practically impossible

I will definitely have to look into Race Gas if Seb recommends it...I typically run 101 race gas at the track *except* for Auto Club Speedway, where it's practically impossible to get anything aside from 91. Last time I was there, I used several bottles of octane booster, but was still suffering frequent detonation.

I know I'm probably wrong here but I thought aviationgas was kerosene

Bad idea...aviation gas is leaded and you will blow your engine.

What is the ideal octane rating one would run in a non FI z when using race gas?
