What are the performance benefits of running 103 octane on mild tune?

Skip the octane booster. 8-16oz of a liquid is not going to raise your octane multiple points. Even 104 gas take gals of it to raise the octane. Take 7 gals of 93 and add 3 gals of 104 and your overall octane is now 96.3. That is what 3 gals of it does. 3 gals is about 384 ounces.

Chris, I respect your opinion and what you've done on the tuning front but must disagree with you here. You are correct that 8oz wont do much unless you're only adding a few gallons. 16oz will take 93oct to 95ish per tank if using quality boosters which were listed (not the gas station snake oil). I have personally used Torco and Klotz with great results. You can debate the long term effect of MMT in boosters like Torco and Boostane (none in Klotz, which is another plus) but to give a blanket statement of "skip them" is a bit much. Without question there are more crappy fake octane boosters on the market but again, the ones listed are dyno and track proven to work as advertised. It's more cost effective, readily available and most important, does work if mixed properly.

Agree and i believe i recall tony posting the same. I was getting up to 26 degrees of timing using it every once on awhile. Thats prob 97 octane from 93 octane. I could do 21 degrees or so on 93
