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

Just ordered 2.5 gallons, liquid crack for car guys!

Nice! Still working through the revisions on my 93 3bar with Torrie. I will play with this in future tunes. I want to start on an E20 after we finish this crap winter gas 93 tune.

Got my fix a few weeks ago. Had long talk with Brian about my experiences. Waiting for the summer blends to come through to test harder what the ACES can or will do. FYI, the batch I received was clear in color compared with the others that have the yellowish tint/color to them. Brian says he moving away from the dye that was added. Other companies are claiming to have something like his product and/or something just as good, just less expensive. SO he is trying to assure his product stands out.

We are talking I may experiment with his racing blend to see if there are any additional gains to be had from it. Maybe some, Maybe none. But I want to find a dyno shop that can dyno AWD cars

I goofed and ran myself out.

I'm gonna throw 4 or 5 ounces of the race concentrate in and see what happens.

Hopefully I can get a dry day so I can grab a log with it.

So you already have the race formula?

If so, I am definitely interested in the results.

Curious, has anyone did a plug check yet.  I would like to see what the plugs look like.

Thanks

Well of course, lol...will let you know it goes in today.

I may switch to colder plugs so I will take pics if I do.

So put 5 ounces in the tank today and I was kind of surprised, after about 10 minutes of driving for the trims to level it it became immediately apparent the car is pulling fuel everywhere long term and short term. Light cruise LT is now -1.6, and ST is still pulling so I expect LT will continue to move backwards. What's interesting is that with the regular ACES this has been a fairly slow slide backwards. This was immediate. At idle I'm seeing mins of just under 200 psi on the rail. Min with regular ACES was around 210.

5 oz? Does it require that much more? Thats almost twice as much as regular ACES. (1:6)

Well, consider this blend designed for racing with an effective octane of 120. IIRC its intended use is 1oz per gallon. This is the first use in this specific application so Brian really didn't know exactly how it was going to behave so this is the starting point. My intention was just to use this till the ACES got here but that is on hold for now till I play with this a bit more and see how it plays out. At this point I figure it could go either way regarding the sweet spot of volume.

120??? Holy canoli!!!

That sounds awesome

Yes, the ACES IV-P is what he is talking about.  It is designed to create more utilization of BTU and increase octane value so that the car can take more advantage of the energy locked in the fuel.  This produces more throttle response, power, torque and has more lubricity as well.
