CleanBoost Maxx
Yep. I bought some of this. You guys think anything will happen? I mean, obviously I'm going to be up over 204hp, and I'm not even tuned yet!
 But seriously, I know stuff like this is mostly snake oil, and the only thing I'll really notice that I have $26 less than I used to. MAYBE because we really only have 91oct, it MIGHT have SOME effect. Whether I'll notice it or not is another thing. I'm also putting it in my '07 v-twin motorcycle. It might have some effect in that too. My mileage has been going down in that, but I haven't pulled the injectors or sparkplugs or anything, so MAYBE it might help. If anything happens on either the bike or the car, I'll post up.

IIRC there is something in the user manual about it not being advisable to run any fuel additives.
I will look through mine later and see if I can find it.

ChrisFix on Youtube did a series of videos where he added fuel additives to a Civic Si and did dyno pulls. Gained like 5 HP if I remember correctly, pretty surprising results.

snake oil imo, change the spark plugs on the factory interval and Italian tune up.
A redline a day keeps the carbon away.

Yeah I don't know if it would actually cause issues, or if it's just put in the manual as required by their lawyers.
