Fuel Comparison
 
Has anybody tried Rocket 111 vs. VP C-12.
Just wondering how they compare.
Getting through fuel check with C-12 is a crapshoot.
Thanks

Jim. I'm using C12 had it in the car all winter (had vent plugged) and had no problems through the 4 races in Fla this spring. I buy the stuff in sealed 5 gallon containers. Need to buy some more for Valdosta race. Was planning on getting it at the track but now I'm not so sure.

I was asking Ken Snyder about checking mine at BelleRose. It was from Reynolds , last yr. C-11. In the dark blue jug, with o ring in cap. Still checked good. Weather it had any perfromance left, I doubt it, as I was way off everywhere anyway.

We hit the dyno with Rockett 111 and got 8hp and 3 ft pds of torque over the C12 on Nate Pritchetts mustang.

What kind of engine and how much compression?

I run Rockett 111 and it makes more power than C-12. I have never had a problem passing fuel check and it was cheaper! Shawn

Thankyou Jim, I'm going to give it a try.

Jim, have you tried VP C11? You have to jet up to use it, but it is worth some power in my car. I've never had a problem at fuel check.

Thankyou Ed,
Yes I have tried C-11. I think I have too much compression for that fuel. It actually made a bit more power on the dyno with my 396-375 combo, but after a season of running it my valve seats really took a beating.

Your welcome Jim. I also use it in Don Wilgis' duster that I drive. He was using C11 and we drained it and dumped in Rockett 111 and picked up 6-8 before I fattened her up.
