I've been using boostane for 2 years now since I live in the north country where 91 octane is the best you can get and always have consistent great results with boostane in the tank. Never any knock issues.
Nice to see Michelle in the videos with her Focus!!! 😊 Thanks Michelle 😘
Looking forward to bringing my 14 horse down to the ranch in January!!!
Am I calculating it correctly? I only need like 2oz to raise from 91 to 93 on a 16gal tank?
This stuff works. I have a 93 tune and then I have a 99 Octane tune which I use .41 ounces of the Marine version of this per gallon of gas to get it. I'm able to run 5 degrees more timing with the boostane than with 93 pump alone.
Thank god he went into detail on each one
I need this for my Terminator Cobra
I buy the five gallon cans. Love this product
Boostane works great in my car!
Gotta love real world tests. Might have to check this stuff out once the termi gets pulley swapped.
Boostane definitely works the only thing I hated was it wasn't any way to really measure out the amount you wanted to use but still compared to pulling around big drums of vp racing fuel or sunoco drums of racing fuel this was ten times more convenient
I bought about 3 dozen plastic cups with measurements on them from Amazon. Pour the desired amount into the cup, then into the car. Problem solved.
shot is handy if you have a 93/94 tune and can only fine 91 around and need gas
That's 100% my situation with my car and why I have a few bottles of it on me at all times. :)
Probably gonna stock up on the premium for when i cant use race fuel or e85 on my odin charged 2018 mustang gt 😍
This looks interesting. On a stock 18 GT PP1 without a tune, but able to run pump/flex stock. Which would you recommend for it? I live in an area where E85 is not really a viable option at this time.
I run it in a a modified 996 Turbo at 20 psi or so. Good shit. I can only get 91 octane here.
I was on my 3rd engine in 5k miles and 1k miles each engine for break in...on my 2019 Premium GT with 50 Stage Legal Supercharger...
Till I invested in Boostane...I personally refill Shots with my professional...8 4oz containers( per 32oz professional bottle), I grab one if I know I'm going to the station pour in, drive 2 miles fill up....I keep a sealed shot in the trunk in case I need it out or on trips...
6k miles on this engine zero issues...the 12 to 1 compression Gen 3 Coyote stays happy often adding an average of 5 degrees pegging the capped timing of 18 degrees during a run, even in dead of summer....
I look at it like Meth injecton on my other car, its Water/Meth in a can....keeps the engine happy making 700whp on 93 and 4oz of boostane without a hiccup...I wish it cost less for me but its way cheaper than the 2 long blocks put in the car or even the depreciation from that on my carfax..
Me and my Gen 3 coyote are believers...now to add some to the old F1A-94 procharged BBC in the 67 Camaro and see how she likes it....
Honestly, if your engine blows after 5k miles, something is seriously wrong... did you fill it up with tapwater or tuned it for 120 octane?
@@cuteshadow detonation is the quickest way to blow one up especially when forced induction is in the equation. That is why this stuff is so important. If you're trying to push some boost and make some power you need all the octane you can get.
Best pre workout for car🙂
We agree!
Where can I pick up on of these Michelles?
Great video. But please explain the ratio of your product to gas. It seems to be very confusing.. and to download yo app is a nightmare
Hey Michael. Here's the link for the latest variation of the Boostane mixing chart and their video for how to use the chart for mixing your fuel. boostane.com/boostane-mixing-chart/
Very nice. Are the majority of your Mustang tunes set up the same way as that ST where the knock sensors will keep adding timing with additional octane?
Best bet is to ask your tuner directly when you purchase a tune from us. If safe for the engine, most likely yes.
@@VMPPerformanceTV Will : hp
If you have some knock related to Fuel (3 degrees of knock +/-) will adding boostane allow the ecu to correct itself and correct any knock? 2016 s550 Procharged stage 2.
That's our main use of it, as when we have folks travel in they occasionally get questionable fuel and a couple points of octane makes all the difference. It does take some drive time to mix in.
So I already bought a bottle of Boostane professional for my tuned coyote with no blower. Am I safe to run it my car?
Hey Tommy, Boostane is safe to run per the mixing instructions on the back. We would recommend running it in the lightest mix with a vehicle that doesn't have a tune specifically for it, as it will stabilize the fuel and give you a bump in octane without wasting any of the product.
I can already see someone confusing the shot for a 5 hour energy!
any damage or gunk to fuel system, injectors, spark plugs?
From my usage no gunk but the plugs will become orange tinted and the plugs/O2 sensor may need replaced a bit sooner. But if you're racing this is expected even with race fuels.
im guessing i can us the "shot" with no problems on my stock civic Type R?
Absolutely. The shot is great for a light boost in octane or overcoming possible fuel quality issues.
I know this is an old one, how in the F do you open the Professional ??
If you dont hold on to the rubber skirt the cap will just keep spinning
What was poured into the ST? Premium or Professional?
Premium.
@@VMPPerformanceTV very nice! Wonder what the gains would be on a N/A car
So this won't cus the plugs to get brown orange??
We have not seen a degradation in plug life when this product is used at the recommended mixture levels.
Anyone ever have any problems with fouled plugs with this? EDIT: Just did some reading, looks like that’s when you use too much, or it’s another problem. Just curious...might need some for my upcoming coyote swap!
Mixing in only what you need makes a big difference. We've seen folks in the past treat this product like off the shelf fuel system treatments where you drop in a bottle per tank and that's definitely not the case with Boostane. It does need to be mixed per the charts on the bottle.

Gonna be really honest here. I was very excited to try this product on my 13 mustang with the gen2r blower. I had used the professional boostane, went to the track, and on the way home car was misfiring badly. I pulled the plugs and they were orange. I'm now scared to use the product again. Has this happened to anyone else?
It will leave an orange deposit on the plugs over time, But I suspect you may have used too much. I have been using 6oz of professional on 13-14gal of 93 in my Gen3 powered Roush for well over a year on the same plugs.
That could be true I poured the whole bottle in. Following the mixing chart I thought it would put me around 103 octane. I wasn't aware you could put "too much" in. Doesn't say anything about that on the website
There definitely is such thing as too much and that's why we had Ian go into detail aboit what each product is specifically for as well as discuss the mixing. It's also part of the joke in the beginning where Chuck asks if you can run a car purely on Boostane. We would recommend using specific measured amounts based on your goals. With a basic street car that's set up for 93, 98-100 octane is enough without a custom tune, and even then, if your tune isn't set up to allow for additional timing, it'd be best to discuss it with your tuner first.
Works great on my 2015 VMP gen3 powered roush as well been running the same NGK plugs for two years with zero issues.
@@dmxmike2 do you use the premium or the professional? and how much do u put in with a full tank?
What is the ratio of Boostane:Fuel used for this demo?
yeah that's the biggest issue with this. There is literally no data about this, the 10% increase means nothing if we don't know before/after octane and how much boostane used.
It's snake oil kids... the best way to increase octane rating besides lead is toluene.
I have 15 gallons tank. Is 1 bottle of premium good for 15 gallon?
Approximately how much octane
I will get in one premium bottle?
Hey there. A single 16oz bottle of Premium into 15 gallons would net you just shy of 100 octane. It's important that if you're going to be mixing that much, that the vehicle is set up for it. Otherwise, you're mixing in a bunch of octane that you're vehicle is not using and wasting product.
Here's Boostane's killer mixing chart for reference: boostane.com/pages/boostane-mixing-chart?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAvoqsBhB9EiwA9XTWGfpBwZAPNIijAwW8YrLSRSIoGTniUUAYry5dXwf3dxI2f_iKL0soIxoC80cQAvD_BwE
@VMPPerformanceTV thank you for the chart. YES my 2021 NSX has a tune and can adjust timing.
Do any of these foul plugs, MTT?
We've had excellent results with Boostane following the mixing chart with no fouled plugs to speak of. Any additive in large or unregulated/measured quantities can have issues.
Will the shot work for covid? Asking for a buddy
Everywhere I look all I see is people with hair dryers and people with eco boxes wanting to feel like they gained a half of an HP with additives. The real Question is , I have an NA engine that has 11.5-1 Compression. Can I use 93 out of the pump with this added and race with it with the same results as Cam2 or the like ?
Boostane can be mixed as a light additive or as a full on octane booster to lift the base octane of your pump fuel. You would follow the chart listed on their website or on the bottles themselves to mix to a specific octane and then tune accordingly. In late model Coyote engine applications, we like a small amount to ensure fuel quality but would require a tune for more aggressive additive mixes.
@@VMPPerformanceTV Thanks however im not asking for a newish or even an injected engine . I have the real deal 70 CJ thats had some work and is now up around 11.5 . I will be taking this car on some drive and drag events and its a hell of alot easier to just take a bunch of this along instead of draining pump gas refilling with race gas , etc etc... However I need to rely on it to do as advertised or suffer grave consequences as you can imagine....
Understood, was just sharing how we use it. It's capable of being a substitute when properly mixed. Visit their website to check out a range of their products and see what would work best for you. boostane.com/
Are the claims true that they turn your spark plugs orange after using boostane?
Yes and black from unburnt carbon deposits if not hehe....its just a different color...ive had zero problems been using it at every fill up for a year...6k miles boosted Gen 3...
Same here. Well over a year on my 750whp VMP Gen3 powered Roush. No issues. Just don't use too much
@@bluecollardaily2676 How much do you add when filling up? And do you use the professional one?
THAT SHIT TASTE GREAT
LESS FILLING, TOO!
Okay so if I want to make my 91 gas pump fuel to go to 100 I need and base on boostane website 23 oz
The bottle is 32oz. I’m basically waisting a bootle per full tank.
Daam but if it works then I’ll take it
When mixed per the chart, this product is incredible! We've used it for years with great success. We can't express enough that it's important to use the mixing guide. There's no point in overdoing it and Ian has done an incredible job making the charting/measurements very accurate.
Even on E fuel, I still add Boostane in the tank
what has been the results of this i’ve been trying to read about using it with ethanol. i’m running pump ethanol 10.5:1 static 18psi i get 2-4* knock occasionally on it tried a One-R race blend ethanol and it didn’t knock on 19psi once didn’t skip a beat. i was curious if this product would increase the octane in the pump ethanol and correct this knock issue
I would only used a little bit of Boostane on low ethanol (like E30). more than that, would not make any difference @@SySteMaTiiKHDx
What's in it?
Ancient Chinese secret (just like Calgon) 😆
If we mix E100 with 15% boostane will it make a poor man's e85r 🤔😂
Boostane is actually formulated specifically to work with gasoline based fuels such as 87/91/93 and was chemically engineered to have the same specific gravity as to mix properly with gasoline. TL;DR, No.
hope in a bottle
Proven by the dyno, bro.
@@bobbybarnes1652 Dynos lie. How much do you really know about refined fuel? There is nothing on planet earth that can be added to refined petroleum fuel that will improve engine performance, improve fuel economy or lower emissions more than the OEM promised when the vehicle was sold new. Nothing. that is just science and physics. If you believe otherwise your either a democrat or you have brain damage
