Anyone tried a "Power Pill"??

Hi all...

I've seen these pills you're supposed to plop into your fuel tank and they claim to clean and boost power.

Has anyone actually tried them or is it a big bag of old rock??

They're just an octane booster. A couple of my mates tried 'em and said they felt an increase in power but I reckon it was more a placebo effect than anything...

If you want a real kick you need avation fuel we call it avcat or avpeen

.I mixed it at a 20% ratio and f**k me it is wicked stuff

but dont put more than 20% in as it blows the heads off

? What Octane fuel do you have there ?

We have 91 or 96 unleaded crap... but the storm is a low compression engine.
SP1 or SP2 have the high compression,,.. and higher octane will help there.

we have 91, 95, 98 and 100 octane unleaded fuel in germany. usually I fill up with 91. I tried also 95 and 98 octane but IÂ´ve seen no improvement regarding performance etc.

some guys tested 100 octane and theyÂ´ve seen ~2hp more compared to 91 octane on a dynojet.

some prices in germany

91octane ~1.08 â‚¬ per liter
95octane ~1.10 â‚¬ per liter
98octane ~1.15 â‚¬ per liter
100octane ~1.25 â‚¬ per liter

....expensive 2hp with 100 octane...

I use 91 also,..

.. no problems.

Energy labeling test have shown that 96 will give an imporved MPG,.. but a higher cost $.
I guess kms(miles) per dollar,.. and FUN value are the keys.

Fuel here is like kerosen with addative,.. really crappy

Why not use Shell V-Power like Michael Schumacher & co?

VTR Fritz · Post by **VTR Fritz** » Tue Aug 12, 2003 1:22 pm

the Shell V-Power is the 100octane stuff IÂ´ve mentioned above.

so itÂ´s a question of price.

the difference of 100octane and 91octane is 0,17â‚¬ per liter. itÂ´s quite too much money for only ~2hp more

Fritz

PS: M. Schumacher is a looser... he needs 8 cylinders more than we need to be fast !

Are you sure

Where i live V-Power is a 95 octane unleaded fuel. Source; ShellÂ´s homepage. I got unsure when I read your comment, so I just checked it.
