Thanks Rabbit, Andy
bbchevy- Mine is also a Shaferhoff but it only has the 23 degree dart 230 heads. besure and let me know how it works Thanks Andy
I didn't change the timing any. I had to change my jets from 95's to 100's. ( use to run C16) I also had to change the air bleeds. It was chocking me to death at idle. 40hp is a bunch, but I'm not kidding Q16 is a NASTY fuel and it stinks like chitte. No more of that "sweet smell of racing gas" if you know what I mean
Also I'm not kidding, run the carb empty after every race and drain your fuel tank . I pay $14.66 per gal and I buy it in 15 gal. drums. I was paying $68- ( I think the last 5 gal can I bought was $72) for 5gal cans.
No idea what difference it will make on the track, but all the guys I race against also use Q16.
