Protek R ? Anybody Use It ?
Saw this on Pettit Racing's site. Probably this question is more geared to the people who had RX7's, but anybody use this stuff before ? What did you think ?

IL I have used it.
Immediately noticed smoother idle and a power increase.And a small amount of smoke from the exhaust under full throttle,kida like a two stroke engine.

Definitely a great job searching... but um, the last post here was over 3 years ago.

Good job though.

My ProTek-R bottles never have anything in the bottom.
Then again, I usually by it by the gallon.

I also used Protek-R when I first purchased my car.

I didn't notice any deposits of sediments at the bottom of my (1) Gallon bottle. However, I have since switched to Idemitsu because it smokes a bit less than the Protek R under heavy load. It was mainly because I still use my stock cat and I was thinking it might not be so good for the cat.
