So what is you cheatin' on us now or something? Hanging out over on turbobricks? I just feel so left out, you know...

Throw some moth balls in the gas tank. Bang for the buck, I don't think you'll beat 'em. That is of course if you don't like your engine :-)

I actually tried that with my '71 142e parts car just before I parted it out. Me and a friend went out with his little gforce meter to an empty back road and did 5 or so runs without, then 5 or so runs with mothballs. The meter showed about a 5-10% improvement with moth balls. Likely just my enthusiasm causing me to have a heavier foot... don't know for sure on that.
