I'd reccommend "baby-steps" in introducing small amounts of...

Engine Additive

Thanks for the info...
Many of us here would disagree. :)
Unintended, but that's a good thing.
Bingo. I've been trying to de-tune my car for better FE. I'll take a huge hit in power if I have to. 145hp...

Darin, I'm trying to wrap my brain around this after a long day, and probably can't offer much but uneducated inquiries -- I figured that Stoich is always the goal of the emissions system (unless in...

I'm thinking that the ignition timing will be retarded with the added heat -- and depending on if the vehicle has a knock sensor. If I understand correctly, if you use the proper fuel and introduce...
