New VP CRATE Fuel

[brad hibbard]

260GT or 260GT plus---both work well but in the Sunoco line I am really likeing the E15

the 260GTX---is a solid stable fuel but makes NO power

just my thoughts

yes john at jdr is my carb guy and he said avoid the gtx.

e15 may be a good choice, I wonder if it would have much of a increase in burn off? I didn't notice it, sonoco's website with that list of fuels the way it is could be more user friendly in my opinion!

Brad, what is gained by running a 602 on methanol?

Thank You

[brad hibbard]

first off you can reduce your water speed substantially with reduction pulleys "saving" power

the fan itself can be reduced to almost nothing and that "saves" alot of power

the actual increase in power will vary depending on what you were using orginally but from our base line set up the torque numbers are up 20+
couple that with what you can "save" over a gas set up and its substantial

that is all power numbers but don't forget the chassis-- as stock car pointed out--- your fuel consumption will go up and alky is heavier than gas to start with so you do end up with a different race car at the end of the feature

So far, all the tests indicate that the Renegade crate fuel makes the most power.

LOL shocking!

Crawl back in your hole.

Nothing shocking here, that news has been out there a while. The Renegade Crate Fuels make excellent power and torque.

I'm curious Brad. I'm running VP110 right now. 12.5:1, would I see big gains switching to the VP113?

[brad hibbard]

first off when you say "big gains" that is a matter of opinion
when we see a gain of 5 whether it be HP or torque and does not steal it from another area in the power band that is a "Big Gain" to us

your talking about a 12.5 to 1 engine so its not a crate and I have zero info on anything but a crate

but let me therozie a second-------VP 110 is basically a non oygenated fuel that has enough octane to support your compression ratio--------VP113 IS an oxygenated fuel and still maintains a octane level to support your compression

so with a proper fuel curve I would expect a gain in power all the way through the rpm range
how much?---I really don't know but i would think it would be 1 to 2 %
