Shell V-power nitro +
To anyone that has used shell v-power nitro +, did you notice a difference in throttle response after filling up? I filled up yesterday with about 1/2 tank left. 93 octane from 76 to was in the tank before I filled up with the nitro+. That was the first time I filled up with shell gas in 6.2L LT1.

She'll and Chevron are my usual go to. I do notice a performance difference with Shell. The car seems to run smoother. Autocrossed yesterday with Shell and was happy with the results

both good fuels, but please correct me I'm I'm wrong.
Shell has PEA's for cleaning as does Marathon. Chevron has Techron which is solvent based PEA is the better cleaner |

I’ve always seemed to get better results running the Shell 93 in my previous performance cars (vettes and AMGs)

I have a Shell station in my area that lists the Nitro+ but it doesn't say an Octane, and Shell doesn't either just lists it as "Premium"...any idea this is 91 or 93, just by the name of it? This station isn't listed on find93.com.

Do you have access to E85? You would be surprised how much changing fuels alone wakes these cars up!

It used to be Diablosport would say NOT to use Shell. That was a while ago, but one of my FI cars gets a little better efficiency from Shell. We only get 91 out here, so I wouldn't claim and performance benefits.
