Possibly, but if you don't have a tune on your car that requires a higher octane, don't bother. Plus use of this stuff can and most surely will cause the adhesive used to keep your catalyst in place to fail.

I think only Torco Race Fuel Accelerator is the only octane booster safe on stock cats

I dont want to steal his thread but my last question for you, and you might have answered for me before.
How many gallons of E85 I can put without FF wires? 2 or 3 gallons? I ask because I got Shell gas station 10 mins away that sells E85. |

According to N54tech.com forums they don't recommend using without FF wires. u need FF wires if u want to take advantage of E85 regardless the amount you're using too , but in my case now my Bootmod3 Flash takes care of it since its tuned for it and i stopped using JB4 as of last month

In my experience, Torco is the only "octane booster" that ever made a difference. Other off the shelf boosters will technically boost octane, but by minuscule amounts. I usually change my plugs shortly after tho as Torco will coat them with a redish film. Never had adverse affects from it but didn't like how it left them.
