Can I just buy straight Xylene etc and add it to my fuel as a booster?

Is there any truth to the higher heat yield,

Also what’s your take on Howell race fuels assuming that you’ve ever heard of them?

Lastly does a 1:1 ratio of 110 octane to 87 octane gas = 98.5 octane blend
Well, I've tried it myself and I found it really kills throttle response; just as I was told here. It feels like if all of a sudden you have a rubber-band instead of a throttle cable. Once you are on the pipe it fell allright to me. If there was a way of giving some throttle response to 100LL I would be interrested though.Originally posted by cujet
...I do remember being told by some very knowledgeable people that 100LL is not a good fuel for dirt bikes. HA! Just try and keep up to my old Husky!...

My bikes have excellent throttle response with avgas, although each one has boosted compression, and has been jetted correctly.Originally posted by NO HAND

If I understand this correctly a higher octane fuel will have slower throttle response than a lower octane fuel

I’m basing this on the octane closer to what you need would be better than excess. Any truth here?
Thanks, I probably read this post like fifteen times. I'm not sure about giving it a try but I have a better idea of the problem I'm looking at. This thread is so full of good info!!Originally posted by Rich Rohrich
High vapor pressure low boiling point compounds like pentane, acetone, MTBE, and a host of other components can be used to improve throttle response...

Excess octane won't hurt anything (other than your wallet) in an of itself. How you GET the additional octane can present problems from both a performance and maintenance standpoint.
See, earlier in this post, Rich gave us a link that compares the different octane boosters, and the outcome with MMT was better than the others except for the deposits everywhere inside. This would add up so much maintenance to a point where it's not worth using anymore... Well read the link, it explains it better than I do!Originally posted by Rich Rohrich
