Re: Vp c-44
Wow! Thanks gentlemen. Now my question turns to why VP still markets it as a Super Stock fuel. That makes no sense, and misleading.
Dad and I thought it might be worth trying, but it sounds a little like rocket fuel! I appreciate the information. We'll stick with good 'ol C-11!!!! Bye the way, is this the same fuel that would burn with a sweet smell? I remember several years back smelling something like that in the staging lanes and thinking "What the _____??!!

This stuff (44-46) would burn the hide off a moose at 500 yards.

Re: Vp c-44
That's the answer, Bruce! Marketing added an extra letter "H" to the acronym NRA. They're selling this stuff to the wrong association!

Re: Vp c-44
Right. C-10 is unleaded, so unless you put hardened valve seats in the heads, you'd be asking for a lot of trouble! Like micro-welding the valves/seats. Also, replacing the seats to run unleaded fuels just makes for the possibility of the seats coming loose and causing another big headache. Leaded fuel is the way to go, and until the government says otherwise, we'll leave the unleaded fuels, like C-10, for someone that doesn't BEAT the valve seats nearly as hard as we do!!
