Race Fule? Is that anything like a race mule?

As far as *fuel* goes i've heard octane boosters are crap.

Unless you have the compression to need the higher octane rating, you only hurt yourself running a higher level than recommended for your bike. Here is an article that will explain it pretty well:

Unless your compression requires "race fuel" you will mainly hurt your pocket book. Most octane boosters (additives) only raise the the octane by point's/percentages........not full octane ratings.
