has it -- Max Lead 2000 Octane Booster. Real tetraethyl lead. It's spendy: $33/ gallon, but 12 Oz. treats 20 gallons... $9 for a quart.
Back when you could get it over the counter at checker auto [maybe 15 years ago] I ran it in a (then) aging 292. I got a speeding ticket out in the sticks. That old L6 thought it was back in the '70s.
I was tempted to get some again when some snooty yuppie in a $1500 bicycle faked a cough at me at a stop light. [He was all over the road, too maybe provacatively so]. Like I'm not "green" enough. I'll just tank up with that stuff an double clutch all over their El Tour route. Suck on that M_____F-----s!
Since I rebuilt with stellite valves in the 292 I don't really need it.
