I run klotz and it must work I had over 3500 miles on an 860r with a 60 shot on top. 100ll works good too. A 50 50 will give you about 95.5 octane and I wanted over 100 with the no2 so I ran 100ll and the klotz and at 3 oz a gallon it was about 107ish. With out a head, like said above you dont need anything but 91 and I have buds that only run 85 in there rs :confused:

lucas oil stuff is good, been tested on certified knock engines and lab tests,if you need it then thats what to run, or try av gas.

but again, what do you want higher octane for? if your stock, dont touch it unless you want to make less power for more money..

Just run a couple gallons of AV or a good race fuel.....octane booster from the auto parts store does not raise octane enough to accomplish what you want to do.....when they say "raises octane 10 points", that means 91 becomes 91.10. Just run good fuel, it'll be cheaper.

Thats why I use klotz 1 ounce per gal is 2.5 numbers,,,if you want 94 and need 10 gals then use 6.7 gals of 91 with 3.3 gals of 100ll.

I run 2 07 revs with slp heads, y-pipe, can and vforce3 reeds. Put 1000+ miles a year on them with no problems to either one. Have the 13.6-1 heads and use only 91 octane premium fuel with no othr additives. We ride from 3-8000'. I just do not hold it wo at low elevation for too long at a time.

i use klotz octane boost. up here in fairbanks you cant get 91 octane, the best you can get is crap 90 octane that isnt really even 90.
