Not sure if any of you have ever read/heard/tried any of the higher end race stuff, but I did dabble in this product.......and it made HUGE POWER.
Super Blue 007 Power Additive
Its the second from the bottom.

PURE POWER SUPER BLUE 007 - Using one gallon Super Blue 007 to treat four gallons of gasoline increases a boost in horsepower of 10-12%. Has no effect on dielectric meter. Slightly increases specific gravity. Contains no nitro compounds. Just add to your current racing fuel and check your lap times or E.T.'s. Raise jet sizes by at least 2. Clear in color. (Availability in 1 gallon, 5 gallon & Drums).
I used it in a 521ci sled pulling engine that I was running. The engine was about a $25,000 investment, but was still not able to bring home the bacon.....so I looked at trying some of this. On the second pull, I was "On fire".....coming down the first 150 feet of the track like God himself were willing the truck to win! But, not all things can go this hard and survive.......silence falls. From 8,600 RPM to 0 in no time at all. There was a brief few moments before the silence where we saw what appeared to be fireworks under the hood...maybe something electrical shorted out....? Maybe the dang crank pulley has broken the bolts again and is hitting the dampener shield....? Then quiet. So I ran out on the track to look at what I hoped was an electrical short. I told the driver to try to start the engine, lets see how it turns over. It turned over and started right up, but it was shaking bad! I screamed to kill it as he did. We got a tractor to pull the truck off the track and into the pits where we got it under a light as well as where we had some mag-lights......well.....what do you know! 2 holes in the block! One piston was still inside the oilpan with its top half of the rod sticking out (Just below the pan rail) and the other side had a much larger hole but the piston can be seen with a mag-light to be laying on its side setting on top of the oil pan baffle plates. Remember I said it starded on the track but shook real bad? It is a bit out of ballance now! So I figiure $300 for a 5-gallon drum of this stuff (Shipped Haz-Mat) and $17,000 in damage to my engine....give or take 5 grand. No thanks. I dont think I'll be looking for magic elixers again! I am going to stick to straight old VP-Racing C-14 race fuel. I cant afford the real cost of things like that in a race engine. Since I still have 3 gallons left, I may be tempted to add a bit to the Mazda, but not until I can read true air/fuel ratios and I can tune for the lean condition that this makes. On my Dominators I went +2 jets on all corners to compensate for the 007 additive. The plugs looked great! The $1500 pistons, $1200 rods, $2200 crank, $3200 block, all associated bolts, $300 windage tray, $400 oil pan, $1500 titanium valves, $450 camshaft, $600 lifters, and more DID NOT LOOK SO GOOD.
The point of all this? I do not recomend trying things like this unless you can stomach the loss at the worst case scenario! Our little family cars run well.....very well! They can be tweaked and tuned on more and there is plenty of fun to yet come down the road as the release of the Speed3 will force aftermarket parts into our hands. Dont do drugs! Leave all your drugs on the table right here and I will do like elvis and try to keep the streets safe by doing all the drugs myself! Its OK, I can take it. I am invincable! BOOM!
In reality, I dont really know what to do with the 3 gal I have left. I dont really plan to use it. It makes huge power, and really can be heard/felt/seen....but it over powered my internal parts and made a bomb out of some decent quality parts. Bryant crank, Ford MotorSport A-460 block, Oliver rods, custom biult pistons with coatings and milling....boom. I have never blown an engine running straight VP C-12 or C-14 fuel. Add 10% HP to a 1000+ base HP engine and you get some large gains! Boom!
