Re: octane additive
merf basically answered your question but I'll elaborate. All that booster will do is allow you to run more compression/advanced ignition/more boost. It raises the octane rating (obviously) so mixture becomes less prone to pre-ignition/detonation. Putting it into a stock car will do almost nothing...perhaps making it run worse (depending on the application).

Re: octane additive
actually adding an octane booster will do almost nothing in regaurds to your octane levels, making almost .5 if you add a full bottle of the NOS brand any others are basically just detergents to clean your engine, but most do nothing for horsepower or torque,my dyno guy has proven it, i would be better to just mix up some 110 with the current gas at the pump, but you actually have to know the ROD and MOD to decide which gas you want which most stations dont advertise

Re: octane additive
you can go to the store and buy toluene or xylene and mix it 10 or 20%...but yeah, you don't honestly need it unless you are running a beast all motor setup and want to throw more timing on it, or a boosted motor and want to run an extra lb or two of boost.
