Thanks

Out of the ones I've tried Wynn's 'race formula' was by far the best. That said, others with more experience than I say that using methanol instead is far more effective (at least for the purposes of knock prevention in turbo cars) and cheaper.

Are you getting pre-ignition or pinking. Or is your car clever enough to change the timing?

My car is an import and mapped for 99 ron. Im just concerned that if its getting a pretty good tatering on track I may get det and would rather err on the side of caution.

It certainly won't do Any harm. But strictly speaking, it won't be needed if the engine is tuned safely anyway. But for sake of a few quid that little extra peace of mind would do No harm.

Just my 2p.
