Default VP Racing Fuel

We are getting ready to order fuel for this years up coming season. We've never offered it to the public and thought we would do so this year.

The drums come in 5, 15, 30, and 54 gallons.

Would anyone be interested?

I would be interested in the fuel. I would definately come in and buy a 5 gallon drum. How much octane is this fuel, and is it unleaded?

I would definately become a regular customer..........depending on price and availability.

Ellis & I have talked about getting a 54 gal drum of unleaded. I've heard someone makes something higher than 101. What octane would this be?

5 gal pals would be purchased through us directly rather then paying for a drum upfront and storing it at your home.

I'm still undecided if I want to add race fuel every tank or install alky injection.

The price may or may not beat Trick but the quality will

Mark and I would be looking at the 113 or the 109.

IF my car ever gets together i am shooting for mid nines which means at least a 240RWHP shot instead of the 200RWHP shot I am hitting it with now.

Sweet...... I like that idea. Will it be in 5 gallon containers, or would be bring a gas can?

Also, what kind of fuel would be recommended for my application? I have 10.8:1 SCR w/ roughly a 150 rwhp shot of nitrous.

I do both Chris. The racing gas helps control KR (never noticed any more power) & it smells GOOD! I use meth in place of a big inner cooler. But it's amazing what your car feels like when the alky pump turns on. Almost like nitrous....

I've got the intercooler covered and yeah it does smell nice. I had the impression that meth would control the KR and only when I really care (under boost). Other information I got reported it won't make power just from adding alky, but allows you to run more timing. Does that sound accurate?

with alky and some 116 he copuld probely spray 200-300, but being the sissy that he is that will never happen j/k mark i love you car and would hate to see the heads come through the hood

but the truth of it you could probely spray quit a bit and still be on the safe side, it would help cool the boost charge as much or more than the alky. just food for thought but I have known a few guys to do this and make 170 hp on a 100 shot

If you run pure meth it does add power Chris. Yes, it does cool the charge & hence allow you to run more timing without KR, but the power was the surprise for me.

As for NOS, the affects are duobled on boosted engines Dog....even you wouldn't spray a 400 shot.....what am I saying?

Will we be able to order what we like when we need it? Or are we trying to get big order all at once? Pretty sure I would be in on something, and will try to stop by this week.
