I used the NOS Race Formula. In my area, we only get 91 octane and this one has been proven to raise it to 93+ octane level. I can tell a difference in my Supra and the E55 seems to respond a little better. On the E55 it could just be in my head considering its $12 a bottle, lol, but on the Supra I can pretty much confirm it.

I sometimes due half 91 and half 100, which makes my car drive much better. I have done all 20gallons in 100 but the car didn't drive any better. For my car anything over a 50/50 mix is a waste of $$$

Seems that there are a number of E55s running 12.1, some even high 11s, that are stock. I have a Renntech ECU, pulley, and headers and am running 12.1. WTF!! Either my car was slow stock or I have no idea what I am doing when I run it at the track...![wall](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/banghead.gif)

I have tried a drag octane booster once and didn't notice much difference except that the engine pulled smoother. Would probably be better off trying race fuel instead.
