Several different sanctioning bodies in NHRA... where it's been used in a spec fuel class. It's being certified for several other sanctioning bodies. No nitro. Norris P. has used it for years in his all motor car... again tests and passes w/out nitro.

If you follow Honda-tech at all... Chris Miller came up with it after 3 years of working on it. Tony Palo tested it... among several others (one being a local shop) Results are consistent. Chris Miller (Miller of NRG Tech) has one of the fastest T4/SFWD cars in the Nation (well... world for that matter) and so does Tony.

Furthermore I trust Tony and he calls a spade a spade... it works.

If you WANT to learn about it... go to Honda-tech and read the several page threads discussing this and their responses. If you just want to say you've got it all figured out... then good for you.

I have read up on it and it sounds great. Info I cant find is whether its bad for your health or not. Always a problem when what it is you are buying is not disclosed.

Jerry..It has MTBE in it... which means that it's not good for your health. That has been disclosed.

Best advised not to run at anything leaner than 11.5:1 AFR

Depending on how much is used in comparison to E85 5 Gals could last you a event like the shootout.
it's gonna take more fuel.it's probably highly oxygenated.just guessing,but i would say if you add 25% more E85,you better count on adding 30-35% more fuel with this purple.i think this will help certain cars gain more power,but on the high hp cars with maxed out fuel systems or stock lines.you probably won't be able to run it.


each 9 second 1/4 mile run will set you back close to $50 in fuel i bet.if i my stock fuel lines weren't maxed out,i might try a 5 gallon jug of it.it looks like awesome stuff for the right car.


It be nice to get verification if it can be used with ID2000s.

i read that it can be run on ID2000 and it effectively turns them into 1800s from the swell.

yup that has been tested as well makes more power then q16 i have a buddy that works at jpc a mustang shop in md they tested the fuel on a car and went from 1228 to 1291 with not a single adjustment in boost or timing it works just to expensive for most of us with cars that see double duty street and track cars.

Don't hate because you're poor Craig.

That Seinfeld gif still makes me LOL.

Requires 10-15% more fuel than an E98 tune.....

the stuff sounds really good. Plus its wouod work very well for how I set my cars up. runnning e99 under boost only. 5 gallons lasts about 4-5 months so it would be pretty good bang for the buck. I ran torco added in every fill up a few years ago. that resulted in a headache that didnt go away till I stopped using the stuff. Not worth killing your self if it isnt safe to breathe.

I've seen TDAutowerks here in Miami test this fuel on their race car just by switch from E85 to FTW it yield a instant 80whp gain the only thing i would worry about is the swelling of the injectors. Oh i forgot to mention it smells awesome!

Crazy. Checked out the T1 thread. Same boost, same timing, +54hp over canned E98.

Cant wait to see more EVO results.

Can someone share more info about injectors and swelling?
