There are also certain amounts used to calculate this, such as "adds 7 octane points to 5 gallons of fuel." This will make 5 gallons of 89 octane into 89.7 octane, assuming a perfect, optimistic blend. I feel this is still over what its effective octane would be.

You'd have a better experience adding toluene alone to your fuel.

Too much octane, no such thing just at some point you will be maxed. I have used Boostane as an octane booster with good results and my tuner is a fan of it as well.

^this. I know someone with a 600whp tt z32 that doesn't have access to e85 so he runs 91 octane with Boostane and is tuned by the same tuner. He love's the Boostane.
