ACES IV - An effective octane booster and anti-wear additive?

[Zorin]

Brian,

I can get ethanol free gas, would it be better to use that with ACES IV?   For in town (Fort Walton Beach, FL) we have several gas stations that serve ethanol free gas.  Another question, if I start off using just ethanol in my SHO, should I initially use the 93 Octane with ACES IV and then switch to the lower octane gas or just use lower from the start?

TIA,
Z

So back to my original post....

Bryans been pretty quiet, if he doesn't chime in I will give him a call.

I tried calling him, but no answer, I will try again later.

Are there any more updates from those who have been using this?

[FoMoCoSHO]

I emailed Brian and haven't heard anything which is weird.

I will post up a data log later.

Fuel mileage has improved from 14.3 to 15.2

No highway except for data log blasts which certainly don't help, same amount of daily beatings.

No scientific method whatsoever except resetting my MPG gauge when I started using the ACES. Also consider I am on an E20 tune and I started ACES with straight 93.

Pretty good, winter gas notwithstanding!

I'm about to order a gallon and i still have a bottle of the race formula I haven't played with yet.

Nice, I was actually going to ask you about this when I PM'ed you. Didn't know if you continued to use it after the E20 tune or if it was just with 93. Wonder how this would do with 87/E20/ACES? Might not be a need to spend the extra 50 or so cents a gallon on the 93. Only Torrie could tell us.

Take a peek at this log.

Car was out of sorts but pay attention to AFR and knock at WOT on the dragstrip after it recovered from hitting the limiter...

Looks good to me if I am reading it correctly. Looks like it continues to lean it out making more power and adding more timing as it goes! Now try it with 87/E/Aces and lets see if the same thing happens! with a proper tune of course.

Also, I haven't done any logging yet but where am i missing fuel rail pressure? I don't see any high pressure fuel readings.

That log , if its the one he sent me had issues. But didnt seem unhealthy

There is an obd pid called fuel rail pressure...or fuel rear pressure will work but that has to stay in mpa...i like seeing psi....this is for livelink gen 2

Thats the one, missed it and that it was in MPa. I don't suppose there is an easy way to convert it in Livelink? Anyways, yes there was some weird readings at the front of the log, but I see what he is getting at, looks good.

When u are selecting your items or configure the log on the right you can get a drop down and change units...but not for rear pressure

It is that log. And the car definitely had a glitch but at least it provided some interesting data.

It's highly doubtful I'm ever going to take the time experimenting with 87. I have no interest in fuel economy whatsoever. The add packs alone are worth it to me to justify the expense on top tier 93. Maximum power without grenading my engine is what I'm after. If I pick up some MPG along the way, that's just a bonus.

My experiences and research so far tell me that there is probably MPGs to be had experimenting with ultralean part throttle and cruise operation.
