Does anyone use or tried octane boosters that you add to your fuel? I have heard they can improve performance and smooth out acceleration and flatspots etc.
Can anyone recommend a good brand, how much to use cost etc

If you add octane boost to lets say Premium gas (91 octane) it will add a little more power possibly, around 1-3hp. But what it will actually do to help your engine is burn up all the carbon in the engine and make it run smoother.
