i think it got him 116mph but no 11
No sadly I have not ran it at the track yet that was straight #2
For most it doesn't do you any good because of the compression ratio. If you are stock ratio then it's pretty hard to beat pump fuel. When you lower the compression then you will see the benefits from hot fuels. Has to do with burn rate vs. peak cylinder pressure curve and if you have stock or high compression then you don't want fuel that burns faster as it actually hurts the power being produced. Hope that helps!:hug:
Well Mark if I’m at 14/1 compression it sounds like I could benefit from it . I’m thinking 14/1 is considered low to the typical 16.5/1 compression most are running. I figured the more boost an engine is running the more the engine would benefit from a higher cetane fuel .

Only when you are limited air density! It would help with hazing and spool up but can still get you in trouble up top when you are pumping big air. I can vouch for it on my personal setup with 15:1. The cetane boost helps with haze and spooling but timing has to be adjusted at full power to keep the motor happy. It's not a simple put it in the tank and you pick up 50hp unfortunately. Anyone that tells you it is hasn't spent the time on the dyno with different setups to tell you what and why it does what it does and that is the facts.
Good to know Mark . Thanks for the insight . Il’ll stick to some cetane booster/injector cleaner .
This fuel was tried in a 1200hp Cummins CR with 15:1 compression. We saw a 1% bump in HP. Not worth the cost IMHO
