When I'm feeling down I'll have some of that dip with some mission tortilla chips. Better than stuffing my face with sugar maybe. I just won't look on the ingredients to see if there are trans fats

Fat is not the issue. It’s the sugars that get you. Putting pure gas is always better. One you start down the corn polluted gas forever will it dominate your engines destiny consuming water and destroying your engine. Sure putting fake sugars like Fe85iva may taste sweet now who knows the effect it will have 10 or more years down the road

I stay away from the full synthetics for just that reason. Frankenlube.

What in tarnation is a mono/poly saturated fat? In my years of organic chemistry, biochemistry, and nutrition I have never heard of either a mono or a poly saturated fat. A saturated fatty acid has no C-C double bonds, so no cis, trans, or poly anything

For the record, trans unsaturated fats both mono and poly are bad for you. They do not exist in nature yet our body's enzymes will still incorporate those trans fatty acid chains into other molecules and that will cause problems

If you are talking about engine oil or something else then it went over my head

@chaoskaze I totally agree with you about the torque dip. I even changed the tune to another that keeps the dip close to factory and gives more power higher. This tune is supposed to be an entry level one (for higher level octane fuel) but what a difference. I would be happy to see more products focusing on high rpm and top end power. Unfortunately, it is more difficult to focus on this and it looks that the dip was from the beginning an easier target.

I have an HKS full exhaust with HKS UEL headers. Will post video soon after we are done with tuning.

Yup. Look again at the picture. It's 'torque' dip.
