Shell nitro + gas

[glock-coma]

It's official... My SHO hates the new nitro+.
KR  immediately shot up to +7 on the highway and LOR went down to -0.5.
I'm going to have to add a little e85 to mix.

That be no good!  I'll have to try it out in the Edge, see how it responds.  Normally, I run 87 only

Any change in fuel trims?

I have a screen shot on the tablet. I'll  Post when I get home.

I blended to 30 % when I filled up so I seriously doubt LOR moved. I will fire up Torque tomorrow and check.

That was a move up 5% and my trims went up as expected. Oddly enough, I went through about half a tank today and they did drop for a little while unexpectedly, after they had leveled from the blend change. After about a half hour driving they normalized so I don't know what that was about.

Another oddity is that I've never seen rail pressure higher that 2450 ish psi with dash command and today it hit over 2700. That is a high number with 30% corn in the tank.

I notice part of the formula is a new "friction modifier" so hopefully someone smarter can chime in how this might possibly affect injector and pump output......as someone else said today, "above my pay grade".

Did you notice a power drop during the KR event?  On the 2013 you could feel it pull timing and the 2 times I got a +7, the ECM completely put a stop to my cold weather blending shenanigans.

This was right after I got the +7 and after about 25 miles after fill up
And this is driving home about another 25 miles. LOR went up to -0.8
And by the time I got home it was back to-1.0

I was taking it easy on the gas so it only went to +3.8
Definitely losing power durning the KR event.

I was curious any subtle changes in mpg? FoMoCosho does your 15 SHO exhibit better gas mileage than the 13. Z

Really no way to tell, my job changed right when I got the new girl and my daily drive changed pretty dramatically.


Last tank at 25% was 16.5, all city, and I've been running the piss out of her.

The first pic is actually at idle after I got off the highway.

Both of mine have been the same way with the LTFT's from stock to tuned, doesn't look like a large variance.

No two engines are the same and parts wear out at different rates so the trims are used to account for that.

Unfortunately its just been re-branded to unify the brand across the world. The pamphlets are the same as the old vpower ones.

That's all it is. They do this every so many years, just to freshen up their marketing image. But, that's not to say it hasn't been reformulated for the better. They don't openly divulged how exactly they formulate their additive. And I'm not chemist. So, I am not privy to any specifics.

If you recall, months ago I mentioned here that they'd initiated a new additive formulation, and began distributing it to retailers/end consumers.

They've only just now rolled out the marketing, because generally they allow a healthy amount of time to achieve enough throughput throughout distribution, in order to safely rebrand the product to their new marketing strategy, and roll out of of the marketing material.

This reformulated stuff has already been in your cars for weeks or months. They've only just now initiated the marketing for it.

Iheart , That makes sense, this the first time I've used shell in a long time.
