Hi guys!
I've been lurking for quite a while here
This is something I've been thinking about for a while now, because I always find it hard adding an exact amount of lead replacement additive, and my (younger) self used to add a little extra because ' a little extra wont hurt, right?'.
But now I've been thinking about this. Afaik lead replacement addtives will, like TEL, increase the octane rating of fuel, right? ( most additives over here, like castrol valvemaster, will advertise with 'higher octane' too).
Anyways, I've been thinking that using a super high octane fuel would also lenghten the burn time, to the point that it burns too slow to make power.
I found a graph about this on the internet : https://www.team-integra.net/forum/14-performance/30351-too-high-octane-killed-power-dyno-plot.html
Following this, if lead additive increases octane, it will (if overdosed) also decrease power?
What are your thoughts?
