Default What fuel to use?

Want to spray 200 on a SBE i know it can be done on pump. i know its all in the tune, timing and A/F are key. would like to add octane as a safety buffer. what fuels are you guys using? it will be coming out the tank until i invest in a standalone.

You could run E85 or just add meth injection

For a street car, the VP100 and VP101 are great to run in the tank. MS109 has been known to be pretty harsh on parts, including fuel pumps and solenoids but there are a lot of people running it also.

I run 93 with conservative timing. ALOT of people run e85 with great success but invest in a tester and adjust the jets accordingly. Not all E85 is created equal.

Run pump gas in the tank and c16 in your 1 gallon fuel cell with your separate low pressure high volume pump fuel pump and regulator. (keep the system independent)
This is the best way to run a 200 or more shot on a vehicle.
It doesn't make sense to run pricier fuel on motor and this is the best way to stretch the race fuel being that it is only being used on N2o.

You could run a 110/93 mix to be safe.

Planning to invest in a stand alone this winter but the air is starting to get good and want to turn it up some. E85 is a great option but dont think i have the pump for it. I have a single 255 have plently of injectors car was orginally boosted 80lbs injectors. Considering doing a 93/c16 split.
