Default Octane Booster

Just wondering if octane booster will truly raise my octane rating if used with 93 octane to run a 125 shot on a stock tune?

I've heard those octane boosters in a bottle are garbage and don't really work.

This may be true. Im mostly woried that when i get to the track and get a few gallons of race fuel that it wont make it through the system by the time i go to make a pass. I dont want a chance of detonation. So i figure i could get some octane booster and it would have mixed well after my trip to the track.

Is this a dry or wet? Just make sure you don't lean out, run on the rich side.

I'd lean towards just mixing some 100 octane into your tank. That's what I'm doing.

I run TORCO. It seems to work for me. I've got hundreds of pulls on anywhere from 125-200 on it. Those boosters from autozone are junk though.
