Octane Boost

Anyone know of a good octane boost that you can add to 87 octane fuel that would actually make a difference or is it more of just a scam. Thanks.

Your truck is designed to run on 87 octane fuel, running anything higher than 87 octane will not do much for you except cost you more money. Lucas makes a good injector cleaner in case your injectors are dirty...

Lucas is very good, you can also try Cheveron with Techron. Its in the black bottle at any auto parts store. As far as keeping the fuel system clean they do a great job. But in todays fuel they have addidtives already mixed in to keep everything clean. IMO. Good Luck.
