supposed to be? I have found VP race fuels to work as advertised. To find more info you can check out their site.

If your looking for unleaded I think you have c-10 or Motorsports 103 to choose from.

C12 has a motor octane of 108 and 4.23 grams of lead per gallon, compared to C16 with a motor octane of 117 and 6 grams of lead per gallon. Some friends that know how to tune ran them back to back and found a noticable difference between the two in their SyTy's. If you're running generic race chips then it may not make a lot of difference, although I think most are developed on C16 or something closer.

I'm running about 25 psi with a Modern Muscle race chip for 100 octane, and I get no KR with 25 psi on GT-100.

I would like to know how much timing there is in that chip - don't know what it takes to need C-16
