Shell V Power

[glytch]

When i was living in Perth BP used to have a servo with Avgas on pump!!! Petrolhead hi comp heaven. My old 18RG with 10:1 comp ratio used to love the stuff...actually would ping on anything else with the advance i was running.

Really? Hmmmm..

I think the only place now is Wannaroo. Though if you know someone at the Kewdale BP storage I think they have it out the back I see trucks going to and from the Airport all the time.

We are talking 90-91 so quite some time ago....even our local airport has clamped down on Avgas sales, used to be $1/litre.

That's just ghey, it doesn't give any measurement at all...

It's the same as spreading your arms out and saying "V-power gives you exactly this much extra acceleration!"...

yeah that shell 100 stuff i found to be amazingly average with my 20v running the factory ecu which to my understanding should actually benefit from the 100? I usually run the vortex 98 or the mobil 8000 and have found both of these to be great for economy and ultimately better performance that either of the shell petrols.

This may interest a few

I changed from avgas to opti extreme and picked up 12rwkw on my 1j with no other changes other than corecting the mixtures.... read dumping in about 10 -15% more fuel

BIGEST thing i liked was that it dropped over 100 degrees of exhaust temp (love that ethanol!!) and it didnt ping even at 24psi, made a best of 354rwkw also made 200rwkw at only 4500 rpm!!

i had to fill up with v power the other day, i asked the guy "wtf is this v power shit"

he said it was upgraded optimax, same octane but less friction.

you say it has more cleaning stuff than optimax? what does it do, dissolve all of your fuel lines?
