How many TSM cars are running VP Q16??

[86brick]

Also, any TSO cars using the Q16? Just curious.

What's Q16?

I think it is some kind of an octane booster you add to yur gas tank

 

[southern boost]

Hey Sam ,Ted don't know bout that ,those tso guys run nitro methane mix like the big boys that how they run those big mph!

I believe it is just regular leaded 116 octane fuel. Like C16, but different brand name.

He only runs 15 psi, I bet Sam runs 89 octane with a few gallons of 93 mixed in for safe measures:tongue:

Guess everyone is keeping quiet on their findings as far as whether or not they have seen any gains from making the switch, pretty much confirms what I already figured.

Q16 makes more power than methanol

Ask the developers at VP:smile:

Fiscus told me tonight that he ran C16 on the 172 pass his car likes the C16 somthing to due with cyl press.

If they are going fast they are running 116+. The yellow tsm car has run 118 rocket brand for 3 years. Everybody has there own opinion. The owner of g&g oil in indiana sell it to me at cost so that is why we run that. At 15 to 16 dollars a gallon for VP.We will stick to rocket brand for 7 to 8 dollars a gallon.
We run 9.51 at tsm legal weight with no problems. Steve Hughes has ran both in the same night VP and Rocket. You might ask him which is better.

I use 5 gal of C16 as ballast.

They both work well. Depends on the setup.

Ran Q16 in one car picked up another car made no difference.

 

[TURBOKID]

Brick I have changed to it and it made a big differents. If I had to say on my car it was worth about 150hp

 

[XXQUICK6XX]

I run it but never compared it to c-16 just liked the consistency of it.

Q16 will make more power in most instances. Not all but most. VP import is even more potent than Q16. I posted about my experience with Q16 here:

Im not sure exactly what to target but i think im close. Simply throwing it in a car vs another fuel like C16 (117 octane) will not usually make difference unless the car was really rich before. Its no secret. More oxygen usually means more power. Be sure to bump the base pulse width or you will be 5-9% leaner with the Q16. Id approximate i gained 1-1.5 mph in a 130mph car.

 

[steve hughes]

It didn't seem to make a difference in my car. I tryed it then went back to Rockett 118 at the track . Ran exactly the same. Did have to richen up the ve table 15 percent for the Q16.

WOW!!!!
