Default High HP guys, what fuel are you using?

Just seeing what fuel everyone was using, I have been using q16 all season, But maybe thinking about changing next season. Heard of c23 but do not know much about em, I have people trying to get me to run e85? What the pro's and con's or e85, becides it being cheap and that it smells really bad, lol.

I dont think High HP guys are using E85, The highest octane rating on it is 105. We use Q16

Q16 here.. E85 isnt a smart choice for an 800+ hp car, the blend is too inconsistent.. If you have that kind of money in your motor, run a consistently mixed race fuel.

Thats what I have been thinking, but ALOT of domestic guys here keep bugging me about it, But I was thinking of running the id2000's and cant run q16, so either add another 4 to my current 1600's or change to c16 or c23. But can not make as much power on c then q correct?

DITO!

i'm not running much power, But i guess for stock sleeves it's a lot.

i'm also on C16. But i have been looking into E85 . I have heard blend changes with the PUMP virsion. (winter blend has less ethenol than the Summer blend i was told. That can be bad for a tune).

The drum E85 is more consistent , but the price goes up because it pretty much blended with other high priced race fuels. Or is a higher rating Ethenol and is cut down with pump gas.

Miller has some crazy blend hes been hush hush about. Might wanna drop him a PM and see whats up. But i doubt it will be the $2.99 A gallon like the pump variety

So for now i'll stick to C16!!.

C16s junk compared to Q, and its very comparable in price so theres really no reason to run C IMO.

Is anyone running c23 with any info? Is anyone having problems with the q16 as far as stock tanks rusting, or injector problems etc..
