Anybody run the VP Diesel Race Fuel in their Duramax? I've got a buddy that has ran it in his Cummins 3.0 pull truck and picked up 30hp on the engine dyno just by switching to the fuel. Curious to what other guys are running instead of just pump #2.
VP Diesel Race Fuel?

Just add about a 32oz of 97 octane to each gallon of diesel... that should add some horses. :spit:
the VP TORQ DX is probably the best thing you can run without going right to BIO, we ran BIO last year and switched because of how nasty BIO is to the VP fuels, its not cheap but neither are fuels system components, going from BIO to the VP we had to increase the fuel quantity because of how clean it burns. :thumb:
Kind of what I was thinking. My buddy that's running it heard everything from Harts Diesel which is the ones that supposedly did the dyno run.
We saw some temp drops on a 3.0 truck only changing fuel from run to run! Roughly 200* on the track.

You'll need more quantity to get the same power though. Much less haze at idle also

If you're maxed out then probably not. The one 2.5 truck we put it in we didn't notice a big difference other then it starts like a stock truck and has no haze at idle anymore. Other then it running a lot cleaner can't notice a difference on that. He is maxed out as well for right now until he puts a 2nd cp3 on it. When he does that we will know more

Subd what about scheid hot diesel diesel power had a article that was pretty interesting about hot diesel fuels and additives scheid claims 30hp and 100ft lbs if I read that right on there site but it's not street use
Haisley Machine sells an additive package that you mix with normal pump diesel we have found that it was good for 25 HP and 50 FT/LBS on a 975HP Cummins on the engine dyno so the HP claim on Scheids fuel is believable, the torque gain is probably possible on a big cube low rpm tractor motor. On the same engine and dyno we mixed the Haisley additive in B100 soybean bio diesel and with no changes we picked up 40HP
Mark, along with myself have tested this fuel. We both have had barrels of it for quite some time.
The Fuel has change several times due to refinery's burning down.
The first batch was the best. I know I have seen it from 10hp all the way to 100hp increase. With a few hard part limits being how it reacts.. but, the issue is for us pulling guys, it does not meet spec for pretty much everyone's fuel rule. Obviously for the money its not worth it for street use and when it comes to drag racing you are pretty much unlimited so save the money and buy a bigger turbo, injector, pump ect. and have a lot more to gain.
