Also have u done an intank pump or is the sock on the intank filter.<br /> Edited 09/10/12 09:46 AM by turbowelshy89

If not that will most likely be giving you issues.Edit: Just saw Kroozin's pic. I ran a tank of octane booster for a day at Calder in my old car and managed to blow the end off one of my spark plugs :/ Edited 09/10/12 09:07 PM by rbjet
Mr_4.0 Member 1,096 Member For: 15y 7m 29d Posted 09/10/12 11:53 PM Posted 09/10/12 11:53 PM Octane booster stains iridium plugs. The plug can't burn it off again. It causes misfires and blow outs. Steer clear. I've had same happen to me. Anyone know if injector cleaner does the same to iridium plugs?
