Tire Power Tire Softener

Tire Power Tire SoftenerTire Power is a unique tire treatment that penetrates the surface and softens the rubber. Unlike any of its competitors, Tire Power’s non-flammable, non-toxic formula actually reverses the aging process and gives increased levels of grip on all types of race tires.

Tire Power is easily applied with a brush or roller onto the surface of the tire and is then allowed to penetrate. Further coats complete the treatment process. The tires are then left for 4-5 days before use to ensure adequate penetration and softening. Shrink-wrapping the tire is unnecessary, as Tire Power simply does not evaporate.

Get the edge on the opposition! Guaranteed to reduce lap times, Tire Power can even extend the life of your old race tires by bringing back that lost performance.

May be transported by any method, even by air!

Manufactured in Great Britain for Essex Parts Services.

Part No. 15 500100 – Tire Power Tire Softener (1 gallon container)

Limited Time Offer – $59.95 per gallon
(Regularly $69.95)

0W-20 Advanced Racing Development Project
Racing Engine Oil

Special formulation, racing only 4-stroke engine oil using Electrosyntec Technology.

Silkolene 0W-20 Advanced Development Project engine oil is an entirely new concept in competition lubrication. Racing engines lose power due to oil drag and friction. This maximum power 0W-20 is a unique low viscosity synthetic which cuts oil drag yet maintains a tough low-wear film on highly stressed components. Specially researched friction modifier chemistry depends upon Electrostatic Adhesion to attack friction at crucial points in valve and power train systems—two sources of hidden power giving that vital edge in acceleration and full throttle output.

TEST RESULTS: Dynamometer tests on 0W-20 Advanced Development Project racing engine oil have produced amazing results. The test machine was an 1100cc 4-cylinder race engine.

15W-50 racing engine oil Max power 127.9 BHP @ 9750 RPM
Max torque 75.8 ft-lbs @ 7300 RPM
5W-40 racing engine oil Max power 131.6 BHP @ 9750 RPM
Max torque 77.7 ft-lbs @ 7400 RPM

Pro SRG 75 Gear Oil

100% ester synthetic racing gear oil

A synthetic gear oil of SAE 75W viscosity developed exclusively for racing transmissions. This grade has a naturally high viscosity index (ensuring good low temperature performance) and excellent shear strength, as well as possessing an inherently excellent load carrying capability.

The synthetic materials used for this formulation have an oxidation stability of 3 to 4 times that of conventional mineral oils, prolonging the effective life of the lubricant under extreme working conditions. Coupled with this, the lower friction value leads to reduced pitting and wear of the gear teeth. Pro SRG 75 provides very superior protection and performance under the most demanding race conditions.

Its unique combination of low viscosity and high load carrying ability ensures good lubrication and prevents overheating in gearbox components such as selector forks and bearings which are often starved of lubrication with conventional oils.

Pro SRG 75 has been designed for high speed gearboxes handling high power inputs. It withstands very high temperatures and protects against the high shock loads to which racing gearboxes are often subjected.

NB: Not suitable for hypoid applications.

Pro Boost Octane Improver

A highly efficient octane improver specifically designed to combat pre-ignition—often called ‘pinging’ or ‘knocking’. Pro Boost also successfully combats ‘over-run’ or ‘run-on’.

Pro Boost is a unique blend of synthetic low-toxicity organic chemicals which reduce upper cylinder wear and burn cleanly without leaving deposits in the combustion chamber.

Pro Boost does not contain lead or aniline which are hazardous to both the user and the environment. Furthermore, the addition of Pro Boost leads to more complete combustion of the fuel and thus to a reduction of the emission of noxious exhaust gases, particularly carbon monoxide.

Pro Boost improves throttle response and facilitates cold starting, at the same time reducing the heavy exhaust gas pollution when the engine is cold. This is of particular benefit where catalytic exhausts are fitted.

Adding Pro Boost to gasoline will also have a ‘keep clean’ effect in both carburetor and injection systems and will help to reduce icing in carburetors. Acceleration will be improved by using Pro Boost since pre-ignition during that phase can be severe. A further advantage of Pro Boost is that it will reduce fuel system corrosion. Pro Boost does not affect mixture settings making carburetor adjustment unnecessary. It is fully compatible with all gasolines and does not attack fuel hoses or filters.

Pro Boost has been successfully tested in a wide variety of car and motorcycle engines, including 2-stroke. It is suitable for all gasoline engines and all types of fuel.

Pro Boost is compatible with catalytic converters.

Recommended Dosages: Pro Boost is effective from 1% to 3% addition levels. Octane improvement depends on fuel characteristics; however, a dosage of 1.5% can be expected to give an increase in Motor Octane Number (MON) of 0.5 to 2 units with most fuels. Accidental overdosing will have not adverse effects.
