I was thinking about trying a racefuel concentrate made by Klotz called Hitrate in my 2001 Suzuki RM125, and I was wondering if this stuff actually works good or if I should not use it? Also if not are there any other additives I could use in my fuel to boost the 94 octane rating a tad?


Thanks In advance!!

I have a buddy that tried it. He mixed it with C-12.
He said he liked it but it is waaaaay expensive and I'm not sure if his results warranted it.

My best advise would be........

Either run straight race fuel or just run straight pump fuel.

If I am understanding all of the different posts about race fuel correctly is that its biggest benefit is being able to pick and choose your favorite blend, garunteed freshness, and consistency. In my uneducated opinion Klotz probably sells a good product but the pump gas you mix it with is a guess. But to buy a race fuel and then to add a concentrate to it sounds like a lot more work then just to buy a race fuel that suits your purpose.

If all you are trying to do is raise the octane a few points to prevent knock then this is a workable way to do it.

Straight pump fuel is not an option, it pings.
Straight race fuel is overkill for my application not to mention expensive and the only fuel I can get local is Cam-2 which I heard mixed reports about.

Those are all great reasons to use race fuel but you forgot the most important reason is octane and this is what I care about most.
