i was at my friends machine shop last night...
i asked him about the vp import fuel...

he said they dyno'd a 434sbc, all motor combination...703hp on vp c-16
changed fuel..only...to import and it made 738hp

he has sold 1 55gal drum for 1200-
5 gal can =120-

I have never seen numbers using Import as a N/A fuel. Thanks for the info. It is some wicked stuff for sure.

What is so special about the fuel? What makes it illegal in some race organizations? duck

I heard $25/Gal and went :eek: I also smelt it from a car and went :eek: WHAT IS THAT!?!?! but man if it works that good, it's going to draw a huge crowd...maybe me:)

$25 a gallon... I'll stick with nitrous.

It is an oxygenated fuel. Most organizations do not allow an oxygenated fuel. Even pump gas won't pass with the ethanol content. Let me check on that price of 25 a gal. The last I knew it was less expensive than that. It was still high though, like 18.00 a gallon or so. Here's my take. Say you buy a drum of Import. It is 8 bucks a gal. higher than C16. At 50 gallons that is 400.00 higher than C16. Where can you get 5 to 10 percent horsepower for 400.00? I will check on that price and get back with you guys.

Thanks,

Jason

PS This was designed for a blown, turbo, or nitrous application. If you want to make more HP naturally aspirated, we have fuels that are less expensive that will give you substantial gains. I was commenting that I had never seen Import used as a N/A fuel. That really isn't its purpose. It is for increasing HP in power adder applications.
