Rocket fuel is Iron Diclopentadienyl ferrocene,,, I don't remember where, but I read once that's it's not good for your motor, and plain old kerosene...
Unfortunately most of the manufacturers do not put the ingredients on the lable anymore so ya don't know what you're getting...
NOS uses MMT and in the race/offroad mixture there is 5% nitrous, I called em a few years back and confirmed that... I've used it and it's OK...
If I must, I try to use boosters with Dimethlybenzene(xylene) or Trimethlybenzene(tolulene) and of course most of em have MMT too... I'm going out on a limb here because I don't know anything about the new "mappable" motors, just motors in general, but I bet that "max HP mapping" is just mostly faster rate of advance with not enough fuel increase to match it, just a guess...
I think the best octane booster is a slower rate of advance especially with a heavy bike like yours and of course race fuel... 1 gal. of 110 with 4 of 91 gives ya 94.8,,, waaay more than any of the boosters will give ya... Boosters only increase points not numbers,i.e. 91 to 91.7 etc...
I'm sure you know this already, octane only gives you increased resistance to detonation, not necessarily more power... If the booster has less BTU's than the gas you're mixing it with you can lose power but of course you won't detonate...
