Default Red Alert Crap? Think Again

I have been running Byrons fuel with my truck since i got it. The LHS was out so i bought that red alert that everyone says is crap. My engine is always running on the 260* area. I ran this fuel. High reading of 167.7 Its great. Why does everyone hate it. I noticed a little power increase!

I don't like it because my engines always run abuot 320 if I run that stuff. The only way to get it down is screw out your needle about 2 turns! I now use Morgan Sidewinder 20%, great stuff.

Yup....just like changing nitro rates, you should at least expect to re-tune when changing fuel brands....doesn't always happen....but be prepared.
