How did it work in you're 350x?

It made a pretty big difference I think felt like I had more power wen I used it

Hate to break it to ya, but it's all in your head.

I'm not going to go to great lengths here to explain again that more octane than your engine requires does NOT increase power and performance.

The trick to getting the most performance out of any given engine is to run as low octane fuel as you can without pre-ignition/detonation.

99% of "octane boost" available at the local auto parts store is pure snake oil. If your engine is built in such a way that higher than pump fuel octane is required, go buy some actual race fuel.

This topic has been covered extensively here and other forums.

That's exactly what I thought.

My bad I probably should have searched it first

I'll back up Ride Red 100% on that. As long as your engine isn't pinging, you're just wasting your money on that octane booster.
