C-16 fuel in a stocker
Do I have to change the timing, is there any advantage in et.
Any information if appreciated. |
Re: C-16 fuel in a stocker
Our Demons figure @ 11.8 to 1 and run the best on C11 even
with timing on the edge of Detonation last couple hundred feet. What combo are you racing and how much compression? |
Re: C-16 fuel in a stocker
63 Dodge Polara - Max Wedge 13.5-1
Do I need to re-jet carbs or anything with timing? |
Re: C-16 fuel in a stocker
I am not a fuel chemist, but to my knowledge octane reduces detonation in higher compression engines due to slower burn time, in a stocker with lower compression C16 it would only slow it down,as it burns slower, I agree with GTX John on C11.

It works good in supercharged engines :D

Re: C-16 fuel in a stocker
I would check if c11 has enough octane for 13.5 to 1 compression before using it.

Re: C-16 fuel in a stocker
I use C-12 13.8 to 1. Big Block Chevrolet.

We use C16 in our supercharged Cobra Jets. We used C12 in N/A combos. C25 used in the high end N/A combos.

Try it..
Give the engine combination what it likes. Once I lost a bet on C-16 during a dyno test. It made 8 more HP with just a jet change over C-12. A little more with timing. Taught me a lesson. Try it. |

I stopped a convenience store and filled up with regular unleaded. It was worth over 5 mph. That gave me a better idea how much a quicker burning fuel can effect a lower compression engine. That extra speed gave me comfort as I zipped past the women's prison. |
