All "Octane Boost" is is just injector cleaner really. You wont gain any performance out of it. It shouldn't hurt any mechanical systems on your car too. Waste of money imo though.

I used to buy the NOS Street formula for my '95 but anymore I just buy Lucas Fuel System Treatment. Didn't really notice any difference with the NOS besides for maybe a little cleaning on the injectors but I favor the Lucas formula's anymore. Cheaper and I think Lucas makes the best products.
