Likely or not?
« on: 12 October 2022, 05:27:20 pm »
Much on social meja can be misleading/untrue etc. This engine oil additive is claimed to take the S2 up to 108 HP, that's a relative whopping increase. I'm inclined to think its an extravagant claim. Any thought anyone?

What additive?

The only way an oil/additive could help to increase power is by reducing friction losses. Does the FZ6 really lose 10+% through internal friction losses?
If you could remove that much friction, there would be no friction or even negative friction meaning never ending power so a slight re-map could see the same engine produce 200hp or more. Wow, where do i buy this snake oil from?
