Fellow puller recommended Octane Boost so I decided to try some. Didn't notice a difference, I am not running too high of a compression as is.
However, my inline filter came apart within a week. (Metal canister type)
Thought it was a fluke so I replaced it with another type (Clear metal one with replaceable filter).  This one lasted longer but the flow diminished to the point I had to remove the filter element. The element had a brownish film on it.

Not sure what is in the Octane Boost but I think it is the culprit?

Unless you have high compression or overly advanced timing higher octane fuel isn't needed. Octane is the measure of how gasoline resists ignition. Many fuel enhancers will destroy fuel components.
If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.
Real pullers don't have speed limits.
If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY
