Octane Boost

[Rob72]

Would adding Lucas emission safe octane boost be a good idea to prevent any detonation problems on a 93 race tune on the 5.0's. Would there be any power lost?

Sure you can add that if you would like and there shouldnt be any power loss whatsoever. Honestly we really havent had many issues with detonation on the newer cars at all. Most of it leads back to a bad tank of gas and that typically is cleared up by switching over to the 91 octane tune which is slightly less aggressive on the timing.

Octane boosters can cause foul plugs.

I'd be willing to bet they also sell spark plugs.

ROFLMFAO!!!!

Nope, he missed that one by a mile. Peanut would give him five swipes over the head.

Lucas is a different product from the very large majority of companies out there selling octane booster products. However, I would still only use it IF I thought I was having detonation from a bad tank of gas. I certainly would not use it all the time.

I was thinking on the line that you by some octane boost from them for $10. In 2 weeks you need to go back and buy a set of spark plugs from them also. They get $170 from you. If that wasn't the point I'm always happy to add some humor to your lives.
