I use Silolene Pro Boost on trackdays as a precaution only.

(250ml per 20L of fuel)

I don't do nf any more but read the label...

because they said increase in points...

10points is 1 ron...

So a 5 point increase does Fuck all....which is what most claim....

Pro-boost gives about 12points to normal unleaded and that will be about 8points on SUL so u may as well just use vpower at 99ron.....
