Look at THIS and then tell me if you really wanna deal with the possibilities of spilling any on your paint.

Trust me when i say i know the possiblities of getting acetone on anything plastic or even paint. But, as for the fuel enhancing properties, I think it would work. Anybody tried this?

EVERY Hemi I've seen with a blown cylinder has been an engine that has predominantly run 87 octane fuel.
Not worth the chance IMO...

Last idea today is putting in a Fitch fuel catalyst. Supposed to boost 2 octane and improve mileage. It was tested by 4Wheeler if I remember right and it worked at least for mileage. Could this work for as long as I run it stock?
