Performance doesn't start on a track; it starts in a test tube

At Gumout, we believe in maximizing your engine’s performance through superior, scientifically tested products and making sure every part of your fuel system is working together at peak efficiency.

That same philosophy is the driving force behind our Gumout motorsports team.

In our previous sessions, our team of scientists, engineers and brand representatives provided answers to your questions on everything from phase separation to cleaning the top-end of your GDI fuel system. This time, we’d like to offer you all an opportunity to hear from a different kind of automotive expert.

Ryan Tuerck is the latest addition to the Gumout motorsports team. He’s one of the top Formula Drift drivers in the world and a certified gearhead. When he’s not tearing up the drift circuit in his 850 horsepower Scion FRS, you’ll find Ryan tinkering underneath the hood of his high-performance street car. He’s mastered the art of pushing vehicles to their absolute limit, and starting today, you can ask him anything.

Right now, we’d like to open the topic up for discussion, share Ryan’s wealth of knowledge with you and discuss what you can do to maximize your vehicle’s performance.

This thread will be open for question submissions until Sunday July 10, 2016 at which time we will send them to Ryan to provide answers to as many of the questions as he can while he prepares for his next Drift event on July 16 at Autodrome St. Eustache in Montreal.

We are extremely excited to provide you with this opportunity to pick the brain of a professional driver and automotive expert, but we do have a few requests:

1. Please use this forum ONLY to submit questions. If you have previously posted questions on other areas of the site we will do our best to find them and provide answers, but your best bet is to repost the question in this thread.

2. Please understand that there will be some questions that we/Ryan will not be able to answer. Some of our formulation information is proprietary, such as how much of a certain additive we put in our products, and can only provide feedback on our areas of expertise.

3. Please understand that we will not speculate on the products of our competitors, but we may be able provide you with ways to determine what they may have in their formulations. Not all fuel additives are created equal, so question claims and benefits and demand more information on what is in the product, what tests were used to determine efficacy and what were those results.

We look forward to your questions and thanks for your involvement!
 
Do you have any products that can be added to fuel at each fill up as a maintenance dose to keep fuel injectors clean? If so which product and what's the treat rate?
 
and to follow up on demarpaint's question:

can those products or even the ones that are used at greater intervals be made available in larger quantities such as a gallon jug that would save the consumer some cash?
 
Ryan,

What Gumout products do you use in your car and how do they help performance in races?

Thanks,

Wayne
