That is the plan. Found some tuning issues in my datalogs from the new q16 fuel. I have not had a chance to get it back on the dyno to get it straightened out. Datalogs showed some 14af at 20-24psi but the plugs looked good. I hope it was just a lazy o2 sensor. Got a new sensor in now so I will have to check it out. I switched to q16 from c16 which VP said requires 5-6% more fuel.

yeah 14:0 might not work so well. lol

i wonder what the difference in the fuel is to require that much more volume. isn't it the same octane rating?

it has a lower specific gravity and is oxygenated. From what I have heard from other tuners it has a much higher resistance to knock also so it runs better a bit leaner than c16.

yeah at 14s on that gas, isnt anything crazy, i think on VP import, guys were in high boost at those AFRs and saw zero knock whatsoever, and made like a ton more power, but for 30 bucks a gallon, wow

q16 has a very pungent smell. It will gag you in the can.
