ACES IV - An effective octane booster and anti-wear additive?

[92BlackGT]

i went through that quart of ACES IV quick (damn road trip)... time to get a gallon of it

 

[SHOdded]

More like a 55 gallon drum, from the sounds of it

Seasons coming to an end for many of us pretty soon.

Any logging with your tuner, track times, dyno #'s coming up from you guys testing this stuff out?

Curious to see any kind of results...

Rich-

Somewhere in this thread I put up some logs.

Also check out the other thread in the BND section as there is some other info.

I had hoped to have more data and some time slips but that's not looking good as recovery has been slow.

Brian,

I can get ethanol free gas, would it be better to use that with ACES IV?  For in town (Fort Walton Beach, FL) we have several gas stations that serve ethanol free gas.  Another question, if I start off using just ethanol in my SHO, should I initially use the 93 Octane with ACES IV and then switch to the lower octane gas or just use lower from the start?

TIA,
Z

Is your car stock or tuned?

Do you happen to run Torque for gauges?

 

[FoMoCoSHO]

A good test for the ACES would be to run 87 on a stock tune with ACES and see where OAR is....

I guess I should fix my signature, lol.  Currently running LMS 93 Stg 4 plus-3 bar tune, 160 stat, Michelin Pilot Pro Sport 255/45/20s, I don't have an app to run torque as of yet.  Was debating on a meth kit before I saw this post...

Do you have an Android tablet or an Apple device?  Torque Pro will run only on Android devices, so in order to use the custom formulas, you will have to have an Android device handy.

Theoretically, the Android and Apples can read either. Practically, Android VERY reliable using bluetooth. When using WiFi it bites hard. Apples use WiFi without missing a beat. But stumble using bluetooth. Go figure.

I bought WiFi reader cause I wanted best of both. AND I know I will be dumping my Note 4 soon for iPhone. And cant justify 2 different readers due to cost and there varying setups.

Wifi works fine on Android as well, you just need the right OBD II adapter, such as the vGate adapter I have extolled numerous times.  The adapter has worked for me with both Android and Apple devices without a hitch.

Maybe so but I haven't had that kind of luck. The obdlink is a good adapter since it reads all buss. Just the hitch with Android and wifi

 

[SHOdded]

OBDLink WiFi = Suckyland.  OBDLink Bluetooth = Seventh Heaven.  vGate Wifi = Feelin' pretty darn good wherever I am (apple country or android maze).  In summary.  As confirmed across multiple Android devices from multiple mfrs

Or this one?

Or this?

Lastly?

Maybe for the $30 I would spring for another wifi adapter. Just to have one size fits all

 

[SHOdded]

The one I specifically got was this one:

This is Version 2 of the device.  There is a Version 3 out, but haven't used it.

So back to my original post....

 

[FoMoCoSHO]

Bryans been pretty quiet, if he doesn't chime in I will give him a call.

 

[Zorin]

I tried calling him, but no answer, I will try again later.

Are there any more updates from those who have been using this?

 

[FoMoCoSHO]

I emailed Brian and haven't heard anything which is weird.

I will post up a data log later.
