I used Redline Synthetic smokeless but since I use Wolf 3D I've retained my omp (the Wolf has omp controls). I'm just now switching to the Idemitsu stuff when I go to Thunderhill next weekend.

I never knew, this is what my friend was using and told me it was good... Where can you pick up Amsoil synthetic at? Thanks for pointing that out man.

We've been through this in another thread, yzf

Here's my opinion:
when it comes to the health of motor internals, I'd rather be safe than sorry.
8 ozs for 18 gallons of gas is a 369:1 ratio. That's not even remotely close to 100:1.
I run 1 oz per gallon Idemitsu premix (164:1 ratio) *with* a working OMP, and see zero smoke out the tailpipe, with zero added smell. You wouldn't even know I premix.
I'm going to get in touch with Idemitsu, I'm fairly certain their recommendation is based on a working OMP, unless their product is way superior to 'regular' premix. Then maybe we can get an authoritative answer and cease all the speculation.
I use whatever TCW-3 is on the shelf, usually pick up a name brand over a store brand. I usually buy whatever they have on the shelf since they don't carry much.
I generally mix 1 oz to a gallon, but i'll put in more if i'm heading to the strip.

what I've read in the past, unfortunately I can't cite sources
I would tend to agree, but I also don't want to foul my plugs...that has happened and it sucks
actually 0.5/128 oz is 1:256
interesting, because if I've been bogging it for awhile, I see a ton of smoke come out of the tailpipe when I get on it, then it clears up...perhaps I'm running plugs that are too cold, but thery're just NGK 9s
that really is the key question
great, look forward to your follow-up post, Rich
