Pulled Plugs Today...what do you think?
Have a look below. All six of the plugs I pulled looked identical to the one pictured. Please share your thoughts on condition, thanks.

You peaked my interest, so I did a little search:
Octane Booster Fouls Plugs I guess I found out why my plugs were starting to go out. For the record, I put it in my tank to play around a bit with tuning. Never again.

I see that you're in Texas too. If you have access to e85 you will have better luck mixing in e85 to boost octane. It's much cheaper and many octane boosters claim to raise x number of points but what they don't say is that 10 points equal one actual number. For example a bottle that raises 6 points would bring you from 93 to 93.6 on a good day if you mix with the recommended amount of gas. E85 typically has a rating of 106 and I have mixed it at a rate of 30% and still run a tune meant for 93. It just lowers gas mileage.

It makes things that color all the way out the back of the tailpipe also.
Nasty stuff.

Yea that orange is from the octane booster. Also coats the exhaust/downpipes/Turbo/ETC
I wish there was a way to run it without that byproduct but it is what it is. |

Have you guys heard of a product called "Boostane"?
My good buddy with an M4 runs it so he can run map7, I'm curious to know if it leaves orange deposits also. https://www.boostane.com/
