No issues, I used these Octane boosters on small displacement 4 and 6 Cyl. Turbo imports a couple of years back.
If I had Ethanol available at the pump in my location ,then I would definitely opt for this route, but unfortunately I must get by with 98RON (93) pump gas for the time being.
Having to buy canisters of Ethanol and pour them into the tank each time is just too much effort and impractical for my needs.
So, at WoT boosting 7-7.5 Pounds @ 14.5 Deg. Spark and typically seeing 11.9-12.2 Gas AFR on my Ballenger AF-500 WB (and VCM logs).
Blower is a stock 2019 ZL1 blower + LT4 fueling E-to-End on an otherwise stock LT1 engine. Using a smaller 7.2" lower on an ATI balancer to keep boost in check. According to the Torque and Dynamic Airflow data in the logs, I should be right around 550-560 R-WHP and similar torque levels at ~ 3.5-4K-RPMs.
Thought about changing the stock paper air flilter to a K&N drop-in, but it may just be non effective and will likely not change anything, apart from a potentially less effective filteration.
