Q16 was formulated to replace c16 i believe. Dsport did a test on c16, q16, and vp120. The q16 peaked better than the c16 did.

If you need a price go to VP's website and find a dealer near you.

stick with c16 or q16. I've tested some of the others and I've had the best luck with the vp fuel. The others that you can buy at the track/pumps always give me problems. pm me if you want more details. The prices are near identical for sunoco and vp.

I get great results on MS109 on a stock turbo. Nouse paying $15 per gallon for c16 when MS109 is $10 per gal and meets the requirements of the turbo.

Suggesting a race fuel for a car that nobody has any idea about is silly if you ask me.

What turbo are you running?
How much boost are you running?
How many RPM do you run?
What do you tune the car with?

Depending on your answers a 100 octane might be all you really need. No sense in using $25 per gallon VP Import in a car that runs 25 psi of boost, for example.

The boost range of 30-45 is a bit wide, don't you think? 30 psi is pump gas boost levels and 45 is race gas levels.

If you are running 45 psi C16 will do that but in my opinion it is pushing the limits of the fuel. Q16 will work a little better at that level but I think for that much boost you may as well put the Import in the car.

VP Q16 is oxygenated with MBTE, and is illegal in some states... but is a great fuel.

Compared to VP C16, Q16 will make about 5% more power and does't cost much more (although it requires more fuel to do so... a la E85 and other oxygenated fuels)

Without dropping $20/gallon on VP Import, it's probably the best reasonably priced fuel at $11-12/gallon.
