Recommended Fuel Additives

Any recommended fuel/oil additives for my MIN mc?
I used K44 to clean the vales and it did help.

no it didnt.. nothing washes over the valves, they didnt get any cleaner. *Like my kids when they say they washed their hands.. if the soap/water never touched it.. how is it "washed" please explain.

*i use 2ga of E85 every tank, and run either a lucas or RoyalPurple octane booster to help out my **** 91oct.

Exactly, all you need is quality premium fuel, it'll run on regular gas, but the engine was designed for premium.

I don't think it's even close in oct to the US.
98 oct. European ~= 88 oct US
The option frequently used -> 95 oct European ~= 85 oct US

US (R+M/2) octane 92 is Euro Research octane 96
