VP Q16 racing fuel Hi
has any one used this fuel
itīs hard to get racefuel here in Iceland but i can get a barrel of VP Q16
Q16 will work well in any drag racing application -- naturally aspirated, nitrous or blowers. Q16 is highly oxygenated, requiring a 4-6% increase in fuel flow, which will make 3-5% more power than competitive 116 octane fuels. Q16's oxygenation will significantly expand the range of air/fuel ratio acceptability, so performance will be more consistent and won't vary as dramatically with altitude or density changes. For bracket racers, variations in ET from run to run will be substantially reduced. This added fuel flow also effectively increases its octane by 6-8 numbers above its standard ASTM octane rating.

Depends on compression, but 110 should be just fine.
It's not like it will blow your engine up or anything like that, but it is a lot more sensitive to fueling and timing changes. It just isn't the best gas to run with nitrous.

Martin. 10.7:1 static.
Debating on what to buy for my standalone. Stuck with 91oct here in Nebraska.
C16 is 17.74 per gallon here.
I got jets from Neal for 200-100 n2o size and close corresponding jets for low pressure standalone and C16. I'm guessing AFR will still be targeted around 11:5 WOT on the spray the spray

I was reading this thread thinking the exact same thing. zx14 on the same shot with the same fuel. Picked up 3 tenths over pump gas using Q16 on motor. Wideband was dead on through the last 2 months of the season, and we tested in 30-90 degree weather. All we ever adjusted was the progressive to bring more spray on sooner, as the rider was more comfortable with it.

It will make more power on motor... it is bringing extra oxygen to the party.
It will work fine for smaller shots but like I said it makes the tune ups more sensitive.
There is a reason NO ONE that sprays alot of nitrous uses it. If it made more power or worked better they would and we would have stuck with it if it did.
We didnt just try it once, we used it for about 1/2 a season.
