?? Q16 ?? Has anybody used q16 yet and have you seen any changes with performance?? Im using c16 now but Imight change.
Any info will help??
I found this on VP web site
NEW! Q16
Q16 will work well in any drag racing or circle track 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.
• Color: Yellow
• Oxygenated: Yes
• Motor Octane: 116
• Research Octane: 120+
• Specific Gravity: .716 at 60° F

most people that would benefit from this fuel wont run it because it wont pass NHRA fuel inspections because of the oxygen content.
it would be interesting to see the power a car would pick up to see if it's worth the extra $$$

Tim Lynch supposedly picked up 6%HP with that fuel. I know a local nitrous 10.5 racer that picked up about .15 in the 1/8th just by switching to it. It is no BS, the power gains are real. A cheaper version is VP113. I know of another local bracket racer that picked up .1-.15 by switching to the 113 over C12. Like Alex mentioned though its not an NHRA or IHRA accepted fuel.
