Yes. Make sure you have it tuned or have your timing tuner pulling the right amount of timing.

We suggest running C16 in all of our dedicateds.....no issue with the o2 sensors as long as you have unleaded in the main tank.

It's under the leaded fuels.
I don't where I got the Q23 from. Its C23. My bad.

C23
Recommended for ultimate performance in nitrous oxide applications with CRs up to 18:1. Used in Sport Compact, ADRL Pro Mod and large 800 CI IHRA-style drag race engines.

* Color: Blue
* Motor Octane 120+
* Specific Gravity: .713 at 60° F

I saw that one...I was looking for Q23.

I see no benefit to running C23 over C16 in the dedicated.

Unless you decide to start spraying alot more than 250HP

There was a camaro at the Radial Tire Championship with a bigblock and 4 dry direct port kits. 2 on the outside like that, and 2 on the inside.

C16 in dedicated. UNLEADED IN MAIN TANK (leaded in main tank will damage your sensors)

I asked the same question to VP and below is their reply. Thanks for all your help guys!



Hello, Keith Berry

You submitted:
I am going to a single stage 250 shot of nitrous. I have a dedicated fuel tank for the nitrous. What would be the best fuel to run in my main tank and what would be the best fuel to run in my nitrous dedicated tank?

VP Racing Fuels Reply:
If you are happy with the MS-109, keep using it. You are right on the border between it and moving up to the VP-113. Both fuels have the same oxygen content for extra power, but the VP-113 has a 108 motor octane to allow for more timing and compression. I would use the C-16 in your dedicated nitrous tank.

tuned the car last night.
110 in the dedicated. 93 in the tank.nitro daves wet kit
150 pill in the n20 side and .035 jet in the fuel side.
with the .038 jet we were at 10.0 a/f so we swapped to the .035 and went to 11.20.
went from 440 on motor (no torque cause the tach wasnt reading right. acutally it showed like 1800 rwtq.LOL!)
550/550 on the squeeze.
only had to take 1 degree of timing out so the na tune isnt giving anything up at all.
car feels great!
