Since the advent of V-Max will i find any benifits in adding an octane booster to the tank and if so what should is expect ? can it be harmful to the engine ? the two combined.

Cheers

All you will do is boost the octane level, which means you can run more advance on the timing, if you get the cr reset. Can't really see it doing any harm.

Depends how clever your ECU is and whether it can detect the higher Octane rating and adjust accordingly. I know the Ferraris and newer Porsches can.
