For any current subscribers who might be unaware or confused by this video, let me explain. This is a "REDUX" video of an old video I did when I had the SHO. You will start to see more REDUX videos as time goes on. My original edits were cringy and most times unnecessarily long. These re-edits are to take everything I've learned so far with editing applying it to some of my old videos. I wanted to clarify this so no one thinks Buster is doing sub 4 second 0 to 60 mph runs, not yet at least 😅
100% fake. Hi octane gas does not make extra power. It only prevents detonation from occurring in high compression engines. I've built a few engines in my day. I've experimented with different fuel additives including adding actual racing fuel in my tank. There is no way in hell you can gain an entire second on your 0 - 60 times by just increasing your octane. To achive in increase like that you would have to be making close to 100 extra horsepower. Theraes no way youre gona get that out of racing fuel.
@gian-lucbrasseur207 you can add a few extra degrees to your Ignition timing with higher octane fuel. That will make significant gains. If you experience a little detonation which usually occurs under heavy load, it will help smooth things out a little bit and you might notice some small gains.
For anyone that thinks his ecoboost isn’t doing sub 4 second 0-60 runs My bolt on stock turbo stock motor ecoboost has been draggy verified 3.36 seconds 0-60 So his easily has a sub 4 in it
You're exactly right. When you want to make more power, you need to increase cylinder pressure. You don't want that increased cylinder pressure igniting the fuel uncontrollably. With a fuel source that has a lower knock threshold like pump 93, you can increase that knock resistance with a product like Octanium. Modern Ford cars like the Taurus SHO in the video use knock sensor readings and other sensor data to determine a specific mapped point in the ECU logic. Each mapped point has different volumetric efficiency targets, different camshaft position targets, and different ignition advance targets. If the car is using a lower octane fuel or is trying to make more cylinder pressure then what the current octane can support, pre-ignition will likely occur and be immediately picked up by the knock sensors. The car will then adjust ignition timing, camshaft angles, and boost to accommodate for the lower octane fuel. All of that means less power.
So you waste even more time writing out a comment about how you voluntarily wasted said time? UA-cam videos aren’t made to cater to every individual’s preference, believe it or not. Don’t like it? Stop watching and move on. Why waste even more of your precious time being a dick?

$2.89 for premium??? Bro where do you live
It's an old video, re-upload/ re-edit
Where I live it’s $3.19 per gallon
It's 2.98 at costco for premium as of 12/15/24 in CO.
Help lower knock control if you have a compression engine

Yeah the 1 second boost is insanely inaccurate. But I'd suggest that octane booster in fact makes a difference on a vehicle.

Sandbagging the first run without a doubt. The mfr even said “this car is definitely capable of going faster than 5 seconds”
Idk when I put it in my car I definitely went faster turbo and transmission went so crazy that my transmission mount came off lol
He also didn’t even use a draggy to measure and verify time. Those apps are extremely inaccurate.
Could you also do a comparison test with CleanBoost Maxx Fuel Treatment for Gas & Diesel Fuel I heard its liquid horsepower as well
I'm impressed, 0 to 60 in less than 4 seconds!
With an asterisk, but basically 😅 it indeed was a "quick" car

The SHO was a beast red light to red light.
How does octane increase power? Octane is supposed to retard the gas from igniting under compression.
You're exactly right. When you want to make more power, you need to increase cylinder pressure. You don't want that increased cylinder pressure igniting the fuel uncontrollably.

@@KarzKreated That was the best explanation yet. Thank you!
Dude looks like jack black😂😂
Too may ads. too much worthless chatter and not sufficient data. Waste of my time.
