New Q16 Race Fuel from VP

Post by **Bugermass** » Mon Dec 17, 2007 12:07 am

Just wanted to say we've been playin with it.. So far its been really good. There are definant HP increases over C16 with identical tunes, its very stable at lean mixtures and it smells even nicer than C16 ; ).. Basically its super oxygenated.. Just be sure if you switch, add about 10% more fuel across the map before your pull cause it will run leaner than C16 on identical maps. If you get a chance to play with it keep me posted on yor results so I can compare. I'll post the dynos between fuels later this week..

and be very careful if you run events where fuel is tested... it absolutely won't pass bni-scta standards for gas if you are a land-speed-racer.

Price per barrel?

really? whats the regulation on land speed fuels??? I found out today the guy originally had Sunoco 116 not C16.. I don't know exactly how much it was, but the guy that bought it said it was the same as C16..

http://www.vpracingfuels.com/article.ht ... 9.75914352 scta tests our fuel for it dielectric constant? which is supposed to be better than simply checking the spec gravity. vp import (our prefered fuel) is illegal for scta gas even by vp's own published standards... and the q16 is nipping at its heels spec-wise. my guess is a bunch of alcohol: oxygenated, high latent heat, bumped oct rating.
