It does boost the octane level for when I'm running mild boost (30lbs or less).
It acts like a water/meth injection type system but injecting a high Toluene based solvent. At this level the pre-heating will be disabled.
The main use will be for FE. I've been doing some testing up to 30% recycle solvent to 70% pump regular gasoline. The cars normal fuel system is running pump gasoline only. The recycled solvent system is a stand alone system because I'm worried about the injector's clogging and also the fuel pump.
Plus the recycled solvent needs pre-heating because of the high Toluene base.
With out heating of the recycled solvent the engine runs rough from fuel fall out.
When I race the car I will remove the recycle solvent fuel cell and cap the lines to pass NHRA's fuel cell rule. I will also be running VP C16 race fuel only and no recycle solvent. This is when I will be running boost around 55psi.
