Keep an eye on it.
I used Shell V-Power Racing (100 oct petrol + cleaning agents) which is meant to perform precisely this.
I put it on mine exclussively for about a year and ahalf. It went like mad with tons of torque, smooth acceleration, responciveness and surprisingly - was more economic (even though alot more expensive per litre) simply because it lasted longer.
However, I found it stresses the engine for certain using it all the time like that, and it quickly went back to normal as soon as I stopped using it. Valves didn't like it at all, but again this was constant use for an extended period of time.
It's obviously a lot more difficult to percieve the gradual 'fade' after it runs-out, than the step-improvement the moment you put it in. Last edited by V9977 on Sun Jun 02, 2013 8:51 am; edited 1 time in total
#32: Re: Judders trying to keep constant speed Author: omricn, Location: israelPosted: Sun Jun 02, 2013 8:44 am ---- Agreed.. I'll keep an eye on it. also - it's not recommended to use additives persistently as you did, it will harm the valves (as you experienced) and basically every bit of the fuel system which is not made out of steel.. but I can understand wanting the car to feel as it feels after using it, it's kinda like drugs.. (though I never used any...!)
Anyway I'll update on a daily basis so I wont forget the first impact the additive had

You're meant to use it all the time as it's a type of petrol eg. like straight V-Power (97 Oct + cleaning agents over here), and the additives are balanced supposedly to act as a v. slow constant process.
Regarding drugs I know what you mean.
#34: Re: Judders trying to keep constant speed Author: omricn, Location: israelPosted: Sun Jun 02, 2013 10:02 am ---- Well I don't know about other additives but this one clearly states "only use once per 10,000 km", I guess what you used was enriching the fuel octane?
And I have to say this - I'm having an out of this world level strange de-ja-vu right now
