Anybody who knows me knows i'm a big skeptic when it comes to stuff that's supposed to work a lot better than what's on the market. I had my doubts about FTW Racing Fuels but I gave it a shot. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't impressed with the results. I did a good baseline today on E98 for an honest back to back test, same day, same conditions, etc. Testing was done at 29psi and the gains were just under 10%. Anyone who's tested E98 vs gas should know there's an easy 5-10% gain in E98 over any racing gas, so to pick up 10% over E98 with fuel is very impressive.

Ready to get back out to the track and put this fuel and the new Forced Performance Turbochargers HTA 4576 to the test!

 

Pretty impressive

 

Nice job Tony! Might have to start thinking about getting off Q16...

 

Great info. Miller better get in the lab and start mixing.

 

Nice gains through out the entire power band.
Any particular reason purple over the clear?

 

Miller just became rich lol

 

Sweet! I always like seeing results when real-life testing is done on products. Thanks! Keep it up

 

running 2 sets of ID2000s?

 

Yes, 2 ID2000's per cylinder and a Weldon 2345 fuel pump.

 

What is the comparison of the amount of timing run on these two pulls with the different fuels?

I'm assuming the gain of this much HP was not at the same timing but rather a result of the benefit of being able to run more aggressive timing due to the fuel's detonation resistance qualities??

 

When is he going public so we can all buy stock ?

Nice to hear this fuel is as great as they say. The next fews months will be amazing to watch as these guy's begin to run faster times.

 

I was curious about this as well, I posted a similar question on T1's facebook post about it. I did see a video from some northern dyno day in which something similar was done with an older turbo toyota car. Nothing appeared to be done to the car tune wise and it picked up like 40hp up top and 80hp in the mid range with just a drain and fill with FTW.

 

I believe this fuel is oxygenated so you should technically pick up power from that

 

Thanks for the info Tony! I become more and more of a believer in this fuel with every post I see about it.

 

Exact same timing between these two pulls. This was pull 3 and pull 5, pull 4 was the first pull with the FTW fuel with 2 degrees taken out and it was still up about 60whp across the board. I overlaid pulls 3 and 5 because those were the two with identical tunes other than fueling changes for the new fuel.

 

Nice Tony! FtW showing good gains on a non biased car!

 

It is hard not to be skeptical of something that says XX% increase in just a change in fuel but the proof is obviously in the pudding so to say.

Pretty awesome increase from just a fuel change.

Edit: Your dyno tower still thinks it is 2004 btw.

 

Haha, I guess we don't keep the dyno computer very up to date!

 

Any reason for not trying the clear?

 

LIES! You must have had this fuel in '04! No wonder your car has been so fast... more big budget shop secrets coming out.

 

I don't know anything about the clear. Miller said this is the fuel to use and I assume he knows best about his fuel. I'm guessing the clear is a methanol based fuel?

 

so word on the street is "nitro" so tell us is this in fact the case

the world wants to know lol

 

Good results, thanks for the review Tony.

 

Tony what about the swell on the ids. Do you think it will have a long term affect on them. With that fuel set up what kind of duty cycle do you think it will be turned up.

 

Without a chemical breakdown it would be hard to know what all is in it. Some additives formulations can make it very very difficult to detect.

It has some oxidizers in it Miller has acknowledged, like MTBE. What others it may have he has not disclosed, but it has been stated it is not nitro for what it is worth.

I know in traditional drag racing guys would 'cheat' their fuel with something like propylene oxide as an oxidizer but from what I remember it was not the most stable for storage at any significant temps or would also have issues reacting with certain alloys. Oh and it was banned by the NHRA.
