I insist that fuel needs plenty of oil to work good, burnishing on break in, longevity, and so on. I like 11-14 percent, and currently I'm using Byrons 25% with 11% oil and it moves it out at the track. I did use Power Master 25% and it has 12% oil. Usually the higher oil content fuels have aound 50/50 mix synthetic/ castor, but the lower oil fuels use too much synthetic, and we all know castor oil is important....Wht is your opinion on the subject??????
i will say that a fuel with more oil creates more torque due to the fact there is more oil that fills the crankcase and cylinder creating a higher compression ratio through reducing the cylinder volume , imo
i also will tell you that i know a few secrets about byrons fuels and what they use for oil blends and every mix contains a minimum of 6% castor oil
the other lubrication from a well known (#1 in fact) oil maker and is perfectly mixed gallon after gallon after gallon after gallon and cannot be beat for a complete overall package of engine longevity , power , customer service and consistency . there are other fuels that make a little more power but suffer in other depts.
monty
byrons have even got a following from novarossi , dont ask how i know this
and i do not believe some guy in his garage will be able to even come close to the big name companies that have the art down to a science and are perpetually gaining ground on pushing the envelope of high performance fuels .
no names mentioned on the garage fuels but they all know who they are and always try to undercut the top brands
