IF you were not running an OMP you would step up to 1oz/gal. Dumping it in prior to fillup helps the gas mix with the premix easier.
Most of my car's life was not premixed, but since I have had it the premix has helped it start and idle slightly better. I do it to raise compression because it is low...owners of newer/lower mile vehicles can do it to prevent compression loss in the first place.

I know I am late into reading this... But is it safe to do this? May be a stupid question since some are doing this for good. But I am always scared of screwing my 8 up, which the main reason why I don't touch anything under the hood besides regular maintenance. Are there any cons?
I don't have an idle problem and mine has 55k (04) on it. But Mike's has 52k (04) and has rough idle. The difference between his and mine is that mine was created in (GT)Jan of 04 and his is (T)Jun of 03. I have noticed some differences, his is much stiffer in the gears and steering. Mine is flexible but catches the shifts faster. Both are manual.
Does anyone have any insights on this? This has been on my mind. I am still waiting for my baby to come home. I had my VR put through a cosmetic refresh. Just had the VR completely repainted, new head lights and windshield. I had a gravel truck mess it up pretty bad.
