what race fuel do i use to run over 14 lbs?
i'm planning to dyno my car next week and need to know what race fuel do i use to run over 14 lbs on the dyno. i need a race gas that would be safe for the o2 sensor as well. would VP C10 be sufficient enough for 20+ lbs of boost?

VP is leaded so you answered your own 02 safe question, just get used to replacing it and false numbers or see if you cant find Mark5/10 etc - its unleaded, come to my house and get some I have a drum of it sealed tight from last year.
There are hundreds of different race fuels, the best for our cars is really not available, think its ELF NOS 120, effective octane is like 117 and it has the best density for turbo and detonation properties. - cant get it shipped to me or buy at any track. C10 has actual OCtane of like 106 I think, if you run leaded then try C12 or C16, they all have the same lead addition to them. see which one works best, you will have to advance timing a bit over pump gas by a degree or two.

just add liquid injection to keep detonation at bay.. half water half alcohol works great. and just use premium with a nice fuel additive or just premium. if this is a stock bottom just forget seeing this ever happen. Almost forgot alcohol acts as a good octane fill in. Or if your daring use straight up alcohol like in buick regals.
