I wanna get some octane booster to put in the fuel for testing the engine in my half cut. I'm already using optimax but want to bump up the ronnies a tad to make sure everything is running smooooth
So what do ya all recommend?

104+ (black bottle). It's listed for "off road use only" and is supposed to be a lot better than the red bottle.

The Big W has the red bottle! I know that for sure I would say that the big w near me has a larger range of injector cleaner and booster than any auto shop here on the North side!

Nulon Pro Strength is supposed to be the best shit, after one of the mags did a big comparison.

I would have to agree with the Nulon Pro strength, my engine was once tuned for AVGAS before it was rebuilt, and the Nulon was the only one that stopped the engine from pinging when they banned avgas.

Hang on, you're testing an engine in a half cut? As in, it won't be under any significant load? If that's the case, don't waste your money on octane booster... the octane makes bugger-all difference if the engine isn't under a decent amount of load (ie driving).
