Q16 will work well in any drag racing application. Q16 is highly oxygenated, requiring a 4-6% increase in fuel flow, which will make 3-5% more power than competitive 116 octane fuels. Q16's oxygenation will significantly expand the range of air/fuel ratio acceptability, so performance will be more consistent and won't vary as dramatically with altitude or density changes. For bracket racers, variations in ET from run to run will be substantially reduced. This added fuel flow also effectively increases its octane by 6-8 numbers above its standard ASTM octane rating.
Just a thought...............
Hey Dparker, when did you start selling Q16? I hope you negotiated a decent kick back with VP for this commercial.
Just kidden buddy.
I hated that stuff. Lots of unintended consequences when running that much alcohol in your fuel when you are used to running plane ole gasoline. Very corrosive stuff and $17.00 per gallon.

We're running 113 in our other dragster its oxygenated also. And they are more corrosive. Price around here is closer to $13.00 gal. You have to watch your air bleeds and you need to pickle your system at the end of the year. Maybe since we run alcohol in our other dragster, the extra maintance just becomes normal. But both of the oxygenated fuels and alcohol seem to be more consistant with altitude or air density changes, which in the end are what we're looking for in winning bracket races.
You think VP might give some kickback if I forward this thread to them?lol.
