Yes it would as long as you don't have O2 sensors or cats.

I can see this as a CHEAP alturnative to race gas..

Is this stuff better than the torco fuels or just about the same??

In my experiance (which does not include this product specifically) all octane booster additives as pretty much BS. You have to add so much to a given fuel unit that it is not practical.
I have found nothing better than biting the bullet and buying a can of good old 110 Octane racefuel... except buying a can of C14 race fuel

Agreed. While I havent had exposure to the product in question either I have performed data logging runs while monitoring knock retard with some popular octane boosters just to satisfy my curiosity. They did absolutely nothing unless added in huge quantities.

Personally, I like brewing my own octane by mixing pump gas with xylene since it doesnt harm the O2 sensors.

This and Torco are different in that they add lead which does dramatically up the octane. I am a fan of the homebrewed mixes myself, and the octane 104 type products are a waste of money.
