A tune. It's really not the issue most people make it out to be.

I would agree. Your car would have to really be on the ragged edge to have any potential harmful effects. The most you would only lose a few hp, easily fixed with a new tune, like he said.

Ragged edge is right.
@ nearly 400whp @ 30psi on my .50 trim, WAY outside it's efficiency range, and running 90% duty cycle @ 4bar(Stock is 3 bar) there is no difference on that identical setup from the last year worth of fuel changes.

What about Marvel Mystery Oil or transmission fluid used as a detergent ??? I've always heard they were the best to use.

time bomb is right. Run it lean, kapow! but if everything is tuned right, this subaru engine can last well into 300,000 miles. They key to making this engine last is keeping your afr in check. Regarding my tuner, I fully trust 3gsucks just ask around he's great at street tuning.

Nitrogen enriched gas isn't for increases in performance, it is for decrease of Nitrous Oxide exhaust. It is a relatively inert gas (It is not a noble gas, please stop saying it is totally inert) that easily bonds to contaminants and more reactive reactants.

Please see below:

Nitrogen enriched combustion of a natural gas internal combustion engine to reduce NOx emissions - Patent 7455046
