i think i read its like $165 a bucket? thats not FTW in my book, as i switched from C-16 $ 85/5gal to corn just because corn is cheaper.
i personally am doing fine in the power aspect, not needing $33/gal fuel to get it done.

Anyone hearing about this fuel?
Makes more power than e85 according to them...
Unless all of it is BS and camera trickery they're picking up like 50-100whp on turbo cars at the same boost just "swapping fuels"

Tony Palo has a thread on HT and he's not one to f around with test results. Pretty impressive.

i did see that, and what makes it even more cool is the fact that those two are rivals.
but yes i think it works. will i switch? at $33/gal plus getting it to me hell no. i have yet to start eeking out that last lil bit of power. that is the last step for me, when i have E98 on tap local for under $5/gal.

Yup-- it makes power and it's expensive compared to other race fuels. It's not for everyone, but it does have its applications. You're also gonna need to be able to adjust the tune for the fuel.

Helpful to those without a horsepower knob or a maxxed out setup otherwise.

It is expensive but dollar for dollar its probably the cheapest hp you can and will buy for your car.

and since i can get some, i will be trying it out.... i was enticed by my tooner with some pretty good numbers of what can be.
i will pick up 10 gal @ IFO next month in Spokanistan/Spokompton.

yo mod, use the search lol j/k.
about time somebody posted this. Miller post dyno's almost weekly of the changes. a stock k20 swap made an extra 20-30whp from the switch with change in tune of course.

some friends of mine here did some tests with it.
they were spinning tire on dyno @ 7500 rpm, and still were at 900whp then. they turn 11.5k rpm normally.
they had the same power as before, with their old fuel (dunno what it was) but were running 6psi more boost.
