we used to run against a certain competitor who ran P.O. it smelled like the stuff they run in rc cars/planes. The only way to detect it is with chromatography "sniffers"

No but you can smell it.

Since its a oxigenator,does it have something in it to compensate for the fuel? or recalibrate the fuel map.

I would be scared of it going lean.

I spoke to the manufacture of a fuel additive product and he said he sold the product to offshore racers and they were happy with it. So I purchased and ran it in my pleasure boat outboard and it was amazing. I gained acceleration but the rev limiters kept the same top end speed.


Since running the product I put another 25hours on my motors and they are fine so it appears to be as reliable as the manufacture claims.


A very cheap horsepower alternative. Certainly not the place for racers engaged in true sportsmanship but to some teams winning at all costs is thier MO.

I think the ecm"s are calibrated for pump gas your gonna have to throw them in a box and pull from the hat.

higher octane in a 525 will also turn your transom black.
