Thanks for the info, Ryan.

Blown32, don't get your panties in a wad. Listen, I think this is important. A forum member -- a sponsor no less -- has produced a video showing that XXX oxygenated race fuel produces a 14whp gain in a stock Z. Now, if it turns out that the dyno results were somehow falsified, I think that needs to be exposed. Indeed, if it turns out that the claim of a 14whp gain is BS, as you put it, we'll all owe you a debt of gratitude. On the other hand, if it turns out that the results are valid, then it's important to know that too. We're all after the same thing here -- we all want the truth. For the good of the community, we all want to vet out misinformation, do we not? So ease up, this isn't about you, and I wasn't trying to suggest that you shouldn't express opinions if they contradict those of a sponsor. Rather, I emphasize that IP is a sponsor because if a sponsor is putting out misleading or false info, it's all the more important for it to be vetted out.

As for the original post being about octane ratings, that's certainly true. But I am not the one who opened the door on this race fuel tangent. The OP is actually the first person who alluded to race fuel when he posted a link to gas stations that sell race gas in SoCal (post #5), and then Bullitt mentions it in post #22.

Again, I'm just trying to get to the bottom of this for the sake of getting at the truth. I presume that's what you're interested in as well, so we're really on the same side.
