I'm sure this subject has been revisited on this server ad nauseum, but what
are your opinions on octane boosters in this unleaded era? Do I need one or
not? If I do, what brands do you favor? If I don't, why am I concerned? An
acquaintance just restored a '69 1600, fine tuned it, added an octane
booster, and passed State of Utah emissions WITHOUT a smog pump. I own a '66
and so don't have to worry (yet) about smog inspections, but my car still
pings away when I'm climbing up my steep driveway in second gear -- first
gear, no problemo. Also, when I'm driving up Capitol Hill in Salt Lake City
and decide to punch it. I run cheap as I can get 80-whatever octane regular
gas in my car, and treat it like a newborn.
