VP Racing Fuels Q16
Where fuel rules permit the use of oxygenated fuels, Q16 offers susbstantial performance gains over nonoxygenated fuels. Its high oxygen content requires a 4-6% increase in fuel flow, which will make 3-5% more power than competitive 116 octane fuels. Excellent in higher compression applications up to 17:1. Q16's superior vaporization characteristics yield more efficient combustion and lower engine operating temperatures. The added fuel flow also effectively increases the octane of Q16 by 6-8 numbers above its standard ASTM octane rating, yielding greater detonation protection.
