Default Okay to use octane booster for dyno pull?

I run it on the street sometimes after I fill up and was wondering if it would be ok to use it on a few pulls. Would it even make any difference in numbers?

Octane boosters only raise your octane by decimal points. It may say "Raises your octane level by 3 points", what it means is Raises your octane level by 0.3. Your not gonna get much out of it. If you want higher grade fuel, go get some racing fuel to dyno with, but make sure its unleaded or you will fry your O2 sensors, unless you are tuned and run in speed density, then you dont have to worry about the O2's!
