I beg to differ. I've fitted extractors and only use Ultimate 98 on my auto I6 and I get 650ks per tank. Before that using normal fuel and standard exhaust I was only getting 500+ks and it had less power. I reckon something would be wrong with your car is you changed fuel and added extractors and got no extra power out of it. I also use a K&N filter.
In reference to octane booster you are right. Wont make any difference to power if your running PULP. |

Obviously there is a lot of differant opinions out there, and you may be right about Octane Boosters
My experience is with 95ron PULP from the pump not out of a bottle. The one time I tried BP ultimate I never noticed any differance. It was recommended to me to try PULP to fix the engine miss problem because it contains detergents to clean the injectors and is a cleaner burning fuel.
The problem is gone now I don't have to run my car on PULP anymore but we found that PULP was only 2c dearer than ULP on the Nullibour and we were getting much better economy. |

No way! I have to disagree with ya their. I have definately found better power gains with fitting aftermarket extractors on my EL and more again on PULP. I got the burnt rubber marks on the road to prove it!  |

My car ran fine on regular when it was standard. But ran better with octane booster, or better yet - 98RON fuel. As a few people here have reported. What's crap about this? As for extractors not being worth it... this sounds like a personal opinion, i trust you have some facts/figures/theories to support this?
Tickford 6 makes a good point - if an engine isnt tuned to PULP/98 then its not gonna be able to take advantage of ALL the benefits of the fuel... but fuels like ultimate have more benefits to them than higher octane...
Regarding the comment on not being able to advance timing enough on an EEC falcon, i'd have to disagree - pulp/ultimate is only good for an extra couple of degrees anyway, piece of piss to get this from a dizzy.
Anyways not like any of this matters for me as the car is now tuned for high octane fuel and i wouldnt risk detonation under boost anyway... |
