I recently had my car tuned to V-racing 100+ Octane as i been running on it for a while now. Ben from racepace does all my tuning and he managed to get more power thru the whole range as well as a bit more top end.. I can definately tell the difference, feels more responsive and less laggy (2835 pro s) and more punchy.. The previous tune was done on BP Ultimate..
I normally fill up with V-racing on High st Ashburton on the way back from work..I had no problems with availibity until just before easter. I been to cheltenham (cnr centre dandy and warrigal rds) as well as my usual supplier in ashburton but nothing.... I been running 98octane for a couple of days without hitting boost too much..
So i asked the attendant tonight whom advised that Shell were having some problems with the mix and hence had stopped all supplies, but just had sent a new sample to be tested at their HQ??? Kinda worries me that they are having problems with the brew..
So i was just wondering if there are anyone in the industry (or not) that may have heard something?? Or anyone knows of a servo that still has supplies??
Also what is a good octane booster around these days i can mix to 98 octane fuels? I have always been sceptical towards additives, i never had good results with the turbo datsun years ago.. I still miss the days of rocking up to moorabbin airport bowser with the datto and filling straight into the tank, changing the boost from 6 to 12 psi and driving away with a smile..
I had a quick look at the Shell site but didnt see anything related... If anyone can help with the above questions it be great
