Just to be clear... Higher Octane does not increase power, it just reduced the gasolines tendency to pre-ignite. In older cars you would hear knocking with lower octane fuel. In modern cars they pull timing which in theory would reduce power and eliminates the damage that knocking does. However, head and cylinder design has greatly reduced the need for anti-knocking agents, so I seriously doubt you would get noticeable difference.

Ethanol has even less energy than gasoline but has different knocking characteristics.. If you guys want a good chemical explanation, I can find one for you...

??? So, when I switched to e85 on my last car my power increased by a lot. Not saying you're wrong, I just have had a different experience.

 

OK, what happened to the test? What are the results?

 

Hey did anyone ever take you up on the offer? Because I will

 

Yeah let us know

 

this! Let us know what happens if you do it!

 

Nobody has come down to take us up on it.

 

Well seeing as you've already dyno'd my car stock, back when we did the dyno day for AMG SoCal Lounge let me know when you're available! I would love to come check this stuff out since I am always looking for some kind of product like this. I will get Thomas (MJ50) to do a video before an after if he's up for it lol!

 

& I'll come watch

 

Are you in Torrance?

 

Is it too late to grab the popcorn?

 

Just give us a call at (310) 533-8900 if you want to be the person to try this. We have had many people say they are coming but they never show up.

The only thing we ask is that the car is modified, not stock. That should not be to hard to find considering the forum that we are on.

 

I am just setting up the day!!! Taking the day off work so I can come during a weekday haha! Let me just get that locked and I will let you know. Going to do a full video review for you too!

 

Excited to see how a bottle of magic sauce will put down more ponies than race fuel with a specific tune for it.

 

Doing the pulls tomorrow morning will have numbers posted soon after!

 

What time are your pulls? The shop is 2 hrs from me.

 

What LSD tabs are you guys gonna take?

 

Ha! I'm not high enough to put any of that crap in my car. I'm just on holiday break and think it would be cool to meet more AMG people.

 

 

csexy3 is testing now! Just posted to his insta of a dyno run. Looks good guys, just waiting for him to post the dyno results.

 

They must be pumping that stuff into the air there. You're all hallucinating now.

 

WITH BOOST



NO BOOST

 

now we wait for Blk's reply... LOL

 

couldn't you just throw in regular octane booster tho :S

*crickets*

 

How many pulls were done? The AFR is much leaner on the later pulls after the car has adjusted a bit (advantage to the booster). Without changing fuel I have seen almost 20 whp gained from the first to the fourth pull.
