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.

An interesting poor boy dyno test for C11. I had put C11 in my 50 cc Zuma since I didn't have anything else at the time. I rode it from the track to the Kroger at Indy one year. The top speed on the scooter was just under 40 mph which almost wasn't enough on that road.

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.
