Default Re: which is faster- VP C-11 or C12

I may be doing something wrong. After some tuning my LT1 likes C11. Never one issue with fuel check. I don't drain or seal anything. Your results may vary. LOL

Ed,

You are not doing anything wrong. I think C11 is easier to tune than C12 in our stuff. They both seem to be about as fast, but I prefer C11.

Pedigo,

Quit posting and get back to putting your engine together! Either you show up and race or you get to be my pit bitc...

Does this mean that the more a person does wrong, the better racer thay are ???
wow !

I'm the best
I'm the best
the best, I tell you


Just checked, Mike. There's a dealer in Calgary.
The fuel seems to be VERY VERY 2 stroke oriented though ?

Altidude must make quite a difference. Didn't even think of it before.
I tuned carefully, with some pretty high tech equipment on a dyno, here at 3000+ ft, whispy air, using C11.
Went to Mission, at near sea level ( 700 ft cool air I believe ). When I got there, I bumped all 8 jets up 2 steps, and bought C12 fuel that ended up getting mixed with about half a gallon of C11 that was in the tank. Car went almost 5 MPH faster than it ever went before.
Whatever I did... I want to try and repeat it.
I know that may be over simplifying things, but I don't have a data logger, ect, to verify my tune at the track, and I can't really afford to make a half dozen tuning-passes ( car is somewhat hard on parts ).

The Renegade web site is pretty heavy on motorcycle race fuels , they're producing the top MX fuels in the sport . Once you look past the MX fuels though , they have a complete lineup of race fuels for drag , circle track , marine , etc .

Btw, I do not want to sound like I was disputing what Alan said. I have had too many friends experiencing the fuel check issues with C12 he mentioned. I would never use it myself.

Same with our Monte Carlo. More power with the C11, no failed fuel checks.

I guess the folks at Renegade Racing Fuels were reading this thread . The opening page on the Renegade site renegadepro1.com has been changed to reflect a lot more of their automotive race fuels .
