Race Fuel (vp q16)

[06njsti]

hey guys, when i get my car tuned this summer im debating on getting a race gas tune on vp q16. I know a few places that sell it but do places like atco ant e-town sell it also? i mean im just trying to figure out if i have to bring it to the track or fill the car up before i go to the track

most tracks have fuel on site, however im not sure 100% of the brands at different tracks (i know maple grove has sunoco). Prolly better off buying a drum and taking what you need down with you

i know alot of places sell sunoco and have that on site but im not sure about vp. if thats the case i might hold off on a race tune cause i wont be able to get much out of my new setup and im not sure if my internals will handle it.

every track ive been to allways had c16 and q16

I'm not sure where you are located but United Discount Auto in warminster PA stocks most VP fuels

VP's Eastern Distribution Center is 5 minutes from my house in Newark, Delaware, right off exit 1-A on I95.

i know atco has a VP station for racing fuel...not sure which grade and how many choices there are though

[Vr-4-Life]

IIRC turbotrix racing stocked it.

C16 and Q16 are both leaded fuels........ why are you trying to run them with an injected engine? You should be running unleaded race fuel.

[06njsti]

honestly i dont know, my tuner recommended a few vp fuels and q16 seems to be the #1 fuel for most heavily modded subarus

[OutToWinPAHC]

Yeah I am interested, I have always seen fi guys lean away from it bracuse of the leaded factor

[TurboGSR96]

C16 and Q16 are both leaded fuels........ why are you trying to run them with an injected engine? You should be running unleaded race fuel.

Because they have the highest octane rating and untimately make the most power on small displacement high boost turbo setups. Leaded stuff is just hard on O2 sensors and things of that nature.

thats good to know, i never knew that. And that explains how smaller engines run leaded race gas vs bigger (v8's) run unleaded stuff.

Many V8 guys run C10 and C12 which are leaded. With that said they can advance timing without knocking with higher compression engines and produce more power.

Make sure you have big enough injectors with Q16 since it's like C16 but Oxygenated and requires more fuel. Also you can get about 5% more power than C16.
You may want to look into VP Import (122 octain)
