What kind of gas are you all running? Gas stations here carry vp which I always ran in my race jet skis while I was on tour so I’m a huge fan. At the station here they have 110 unleaded by cam2, what are your thoughts for the v4 that’s tuned with exhaust with sprit filter.

Um, 93 octane is fine. I guess 224hp or 231hp stock is not enough???

I’ve noticed that many of your posts are arrogantly negative and sarcastic. Some of them are actually funny and/or poignant, but many aren’t. Is there some reason you seem to feel you’re the arbiter of “reasonable” mods, or that you seem so interested in how other people mod and use their bikes?
 
Get a mask and goggles with that VP juice....that stuff smells like it would ignite from a hot wind. I did a 1/2 breath of it once, almost knocked me too my knees!

You obviously never ran a good oxygenated fuel before...

Especially one w a heavy dose of MTBE

Its hard on some plastic fuel system parts. Has to be stored in a sealed metal container at all times. The container can’t have any air at the top so it’s not like you can order a 55 gallon drum of it. Forced to buy 5 gallon pales. I use five 1 gallon metal acetone pales to break the vp down soon as the seal is cracked. Went to Home Depot and bought 5 gallons of acetone so I can store the ..... The DEA showed up at my pad a week later. They were convinced I was making meth. The fuel stinks when raw as pointed out but it really stinks coming out of the pipe. Opposite of vp c-44 which smelt like perfume the mtbe fuels smell like burnt ass. Tank has to be drained after each ride and whatever doesn’t fill a acetone pale gets pitched.

It’s sorta a PITA lol and I have no idea what it will do the injectors Ducati uses but I am gonna find out : )
 
I got as much Renegade fuels 110 leaded as I could last time I was at the track. Not changing up my tune or expecting performance increases, just jumped at the chance to run leaded (my O2 sensors are removed due to running the T800 UpMap, so no issues there) to make my valves happy.

Yes I have, race engines
 
Ti rods. 13:1 Compression ratio. Massive Ti valves. Huge ports. Damn near .700” lift cam. Separate lobe and rocker to help close the valves so ya don’t hardly have to run any seat pressure at all and Arguable semi dry sump oiling system.

Sounds kinda racey to me : )
 
The DEA showing up at Dons place sounds about right but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t for anything related to internal combustion engines.

+1 Ya, why is everyone so damn serious? What's the competition going on? hahaha Lighten up guys. ;)
The subject is good times, it's a Ducati forum. If you want to win something, go race.
If someone is super annoying to you and you follow them around all target fixated... what's wrong with you? Everyone is on their own trip in this life.
Gas:
My dealer told me it was tuned from the factory for 95 octane, but 105 was better without any adjustments.
93 is the low octane in Italy. €1.51 a liter that's... about $5.80 a gallon. 95 & 105 you can find at premium pumps.
I see ethanol additive is fairly common here as well, that used to ruin the plastic tanks. I wonder if that's an issue now? Anyone know?

Yeah we all know Don doesn't have a bike and yeah I am pretty sure the DEA is just stopping by to check on other things.
