Make sure and have a big enough fuel system/injectors.

I have used the VP import here and there which is the same idea, the Q16 has a much lower specific gravilty and is supposedly a little more stable. Neither one will pass a fuel check for ny kind of heads up or class racing. I never seen anywhere near the 5% power increase from import they claim but it does pick up a bit. Havent seen the Q16 pricing yet but import is pretty expensive..

Its a good deal, shipping it kinda sucks these days.

I can pick up 5 gallons local if I need to try it, my injectors are maxed out on regular C16 so its not a good idea to use it right now. But if I get really hung up on getting that last .05 you may see some in my gas tank a little later in the year lol.
