CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - When you buy sunoco make sure it's not methanol

For what it's worth, I ran Sunoco in my SS and Stockers for many years. Way back before they even checked fuel. When I started having fuel check problems with it (2 in one year and 1 the next) I decided to try VP. They used to be pretty closely priced then and the only problem was figuring which one to switch to. Tried C12 and then settled on C11 as it seems to make more HP on the dyno in my particular (low comp 360 MoPar) combo. Many of my Chevy racer pals have told me the same. Just my experience so far, that's all.

There has been a lot of useful and informational info brought out here not withstanding the one ego driven poster here who insists you take his info as gospel and run the fuel HE wants you to run or you are a moron. LOL.

I think it is pretty evident that 1320racer has either got a deal with Sunoco or has stock in them. Nobody is that loyal to a fuel company! If I found a better fuel that worked better than what I run now... it'll be in my tank! After back to back dyno pulls I haven't found it yet.

Lastly, I would ask that you not feed the bear unless you enjoy the side show at the carnival. Jim
