Have there ever been any dyno tests with fuel power?

[SteveD2]

The way some of you guys talk about fuel power it seems it would turn an 87 honda into a race car.

Have there ever been any actual dyno tests using fuel power? Links?

There were two claims about Fuel Power that were never made:

1. It increased octane

2. it increased brake horsepower.

Logically, a clean engine will produce more horsepower than a dirty one.

But what about the increased energy content?

Molakule, like I said, most the posts on here about FP start out "wow, I tried FP and I immediately noticed alot more power" and other things like that...

Higher octane does not mean higher energy. In fact, the total energy of a lower octane fuel is higher than a higher octane fuel, all other things being equal. Higher octane means that the fuel burns more slowly.

I know that...FP is supposed to increase the energy content

 

[SteveD2]

Yeah, FP is supposed to increase energy, not octane.

Maybe better and smoother acceleration since the fuel delivery system was cleaner, and the energy content of the fuel was higher.

Molakule, what is the energy density of FP ?

Let me discuss this question with Odis.

ZmOz, give me a fax # and I'll fax some test Odis has had done.

Actually it's Dyno test with LC, not sure if that's what you meant as FP is used with fuel.
