We tuned the car as if we were using VP120 which was a major mistake. The heat that this fuel generated (and our tune) literally melted the pistons. We're going back to good 'ole VP 120 and C16, no more screwing around..

OXY-FUELS LEADED
PowerMist Oxy-Fuels deliver more BTU's of energy, more horsepower, more torque and more acceleration to accommodate the demanding requirements of the highest performance race vehicles. It's no secret-oxygen makes power! A wide variety of oxygen percentages allow almost unlimited applications. These fuels can be used as is or used as a blending stock. PowerMist Oxy-Fuels special chemical formulations allow for much longer storage life and ease of use.

that sucks about the strocker melting...but if i were you, i wouldnt worry much about sponsors at this point, you've pretty much done everything there is to do, and if a sponsor comes into play, it will only look like they did all the work and bought the parts and stuff, when really, your the one that did EVERYTHING 
Sponsors don't just help build cars, they also help REPLACE the broken parts too.
I can guarantee 3240 will break many parts with the horsepower the car will be making. Hopefully not until after the car makes an unbelievable pass or two.

hahaha, thats awsome... totally custom everything, but stock motor mounts. I would think he's changed them, or at least made use of dampers and such... it would be terrible to have all that low down torque and get a bunch of wheel hop.
