    I have built and run many turbo 4s snowmobiles ......in a pinch or when fuel quality was in question I have used torco accelerator. I does work.

    This product and others like it don't really raise the actual octane number much but they do provide additional detonation resistance similar to much higher octane fuels.

    The downside if you want to call it that is that they leave a rust colored coating on all internals and throughout the exhaust. I have torn down a few engines that have been fed a bit of the stuff on occasion and it is noticeable and didnt give me a warm fuzzy feeling.

    You have to watch what additives you run in a 2 stroke some do not mix well with 2 stroke oil. Aces has proven its self over the years.

    Thats why they have a ACES IV 2S formula. The ACES IV-2S Two-Stroke Gasoline Formula can be used with mixed or injected oil systems

    Octane boosters are very sketchy and most don't do a damn thing. The best way to achieve octane points is to buy race fuel and mix with rec fuel. I get my 94 octane by mixing 1gal of 110 with 4 gal of 90 non ethanol

    We don't really get into selling quarts, not a lot of demand for it. I've used aces for years, and have run up to 180 psi compression with it. I'm not guaranteeing anything, but I've had great luck with it and so have many others. Best number to call is 7723422042. Thanks bud!

    I haven't seen that with aces yet. They do make a 4 stroke formula also, I'm going to try it in a twin turbo sbc at some point, race fuel gets expensive quick

    You said Most dont do a damn thing!!! And thats a true statement. Why?? Because over the counter Octane booster doesnt blend with oil injected/Mixed fuels. ACES has a specific formula that blends with Fuel and oil as not to have phase seperation. Im not a dealer and dont make a thing. I have spoke with the developer many times personally about this product. I have also used it for years and I even use it in my 110/112 octane race fuel. WHY? because it has a burn off lubricity that provides the pistons and cylinders with a buffer in case of a lean condition.
