You should be fine at 10% at 13 to 1 and you will save a lot of $$'s over a year if you ride a lot. 13 to 1 is about the limit for making your own fuel. At least that is the way I see it.

doc i know a guy who says he is using lead substitute in his gas to bring his octane up, he is only running a 10:1 piston in a 300ex and he hasn't grenaded it yet. there any truth to this lead substitute?
Unless you had a typo on the compression of your buddies piston he can run a 10 to 1 on regular gas. Sort of like I will sell you a bottle of elephant repellent, and you say but there is no elephants around here, and I say, see how good it works!!!
So to answer your question, yes some octane boosters work; some don't.
When I was messing with this stuff years ago, I would do like baseballx16x is going to do, make mine own with toulene. Worked good.

wen u mean 10% do u mean 10% of the fuel tank?
Take 10 gallons and put a gallon of tollie in and call it good. Or take a 5er of gas and put a half a gallon of tollie in it. Or take 2 1/2 gallons of gas and put a quart of tollie in it................................................ ....and on and on and on it goes.....................................

You may wish to try Max Lead 2000? Very good stuff as long as you don't have a catalytic converter. LOL
