Back out of this string and on the bottom right of the page showing all the discussions there is a space for you to type in saying search the forum. Using the words "octane" you find historical forums which specifcally discuss high octane.
There are some real arguments going on and some very detailed information on Octane.

The product you mention uses mmt as its active ingrediant. This stuff will leave nasty rust collored mettalic deposits in your combustion chamber that can lead to pre ignition. Besides octane boost effect on actual mon is pretty slight so its not very usefull.

Seriously those things are all junk. They claim to raise your octane level 3-5 points in a car. In reality the raise the level .3 to .5 points. I researched this because I have a turbocharged car and run 116 octane in it in race trim. The only way a saw could take advantage of the higher octane is if it had a turbo or a supercharger, or really high compression. Even then that junk for sale for $7 is no substitue for real race gas

How about mixing a little airplane fuel in say a couple pints in 2 1/2 gal not to run on all the time but just a few cuts in a race I want to beat someone bad.

race gas
This brings to my mind a question. Has anybody used racing fuel in their modified saws. If so, what kind, I'm thinking CAM2 or one of the VP fuels. We used to use VP C12 and mix it with sunoco ultra in our street stocks. Ran real good and what a sweet smell that race fuel has.

Dave I run C16 (116) in my car at the track, that stuff will fry nose hairs (maybe I shouldnt sniff so long)
VP MR2 would work awesome in a race saw and the smell is addictive.

where do you get vp mr2 or c16? could it be mixed to run in stock saw races? I don't use my saws I race with for work. so if one blows up well better luck next time
MR2 would be great for stock saw races provided there are no rules on fuel. It has 2.5% oxygen from MTBE in it so it will give a stock saw more power, but you will have to mess with your carb settings. MR2 is sold mostly at mx shops, but can be bought directly from vp. Theyhave a web address.
