So the basic idea here, if I'm understanding correctly, is that it's a higher octane fuel which also has added oxygen - and this means the extra oxygen in the fuel is effectively leaning out the mix for more power, and the extra octane is preventing the knock that would otherwise occur if you leaned out the mix that much on pump gas?
That's how I'm interpreting it (not that I'm an expert on fuel by any stretch of the imagination lol). I mean, that's why I find this so intriguing. The idea that you can just pour some of this stuff into your tank and get an immediate 14whp gain -- how can that not catch one's attention? And if I'm understanding the video correctly, they poured it into a tank that already had some regular fuel it, so it was like a 50/50 mix. I'd like to see what would happen if you poured this stuff into an empty tank!
