Yes, it is safe. But I would not recommend it if your getting 92-94 octane already... I would however recommend it for Cali, since they run 91 octane.

Don't bother with it..it only boosts your octane .7pts so if you dump a whole can in you now will have 91.7 octane. You are better off just blending in some 100 or 104 unleaded octane. The 104 octane boost is in name only...

A good alternative to blending race gas is to use Torco Race Fuel Concentrate, 1 32.Oz can blended with 16 gallons of 91 octane will get you in the 93 area, the cost is around $19.00 for a 32oz. can, although some distributors will sell it for cheaper if you buy it by the bulk. This isn't a octane boost, but concentrated race fuel for unleaded gas.

Here is the link to locate it..http://torcoracefuels.com/content/view/74/26/

I would use any 'octane boost' very sparingly .. it has the same effect on o2 and cats as leaded gas.

This is true, but the Torco Race Fuel Concentrate is not a octane boost and is very safe for 02 sensors and cas.
