Has anyone tried an octane booster with optimax or equivalent and does it have any noticeable effect? Also, does it do any damage, particularly with S6?

If the engine runs okay without octane booster there are no gains to be had for road use.
CVL and Optimax for track days is a bit extra insurance for the engine.
