need some verification. I emptied my gas tank by pumping it through the fuel rail. Ran the pump unitl it sputtered for 1 minute. put 6 gallons of c-16 in the car. Is this enough gas to get 5-7 1/4mile runs out the car with out starving the car for fuel???? I am hoping to get 11.30's out of the car. Ran consistent 11.60's with alky want to see what the race gas will do. FP no higher that 47.
Please help!!! Will I have enough race gas

I think you should be fine as well, unless you were running injectors that spray like a garden hose with no nozzle. (IE: 95-160#ers)
I would start to keep an eye on the gas level on the 6th run tho, as I'm sure it will be getting low. I always try to keep at least 7 gallons of gas in the car when I race due to the sloshing effect of the gas on a hard launch. You should be fine, just carefully watch for no more than 3* of sustained knock retard on the big end on your last runs. If it goes higher, get off the gas and save it for another day.

go for it
with a broken fuel gauge I have found myself lower than I thought I was and had no problems with one gallon in the car
