It's simply a case of Shell being sh*t compared to BP.

There was a skid factory video where they used E10, it made more power than 98 due to the cooling effect of the ethanol. Haven't tried it myself with a barra but there might be something in it?!

We'll see if I ever get around to learning how to tune or even getting a tune on mine haha... too complacent.

One minute you're adding 2 psi so you can keep the stock injectors, nek minute you find an oil leak an BAM, built engine

If I get really excited I might replace the thermostat, more than likely wont though
