The best on a max comp three kit engine. Whats the big diffrence of the .713 specific gravity of the c23 and the .725 of the torco. the motor octane is about the same

I don't think you will find anyone who can get the C23 to run on a 3 unit engine. Most guys go to the NO2 as it leans it more the 23.

The C23 is just a bit lighter in weight than the Torco 118. C23 is a totally different blend than the NO2. No2 is our competition to the Torco 118nos. C23 was originally designed for large inch pro mod engines. This is the fuel that Musi and Jenkins use. I have plenty of pro mod cars on this fuel and 3 stage top sportsman cars. I'm not kicking down NO2, it is a great fuel also. Ryan Hargett has been 6.50's on 2 kits on this fuel. It just depends on how much you want to spray and what your plans are. If it were me, and this was an all out 3 kit combo, I'd go with the C23 and talk to some fellow nitrous racers. It is our best fuel for this combo. I'm sure the Torco 118 will work, but it will be closer to the NO2. It won't make the power that the C23 will. Good luck.

IMO, 80%-85% of N20 pro mod cars run c23 (if not more). I have run C23 on two healthy kits without issue with cars running 6.60s 210+. I will be experimenting with 3rd system later this season......

This is good info to here. I used VP NO2 last season and was going to use it again this season, but the engine builder was very very adoment about using the C23 with the new motor with 3 kits also. Says it has been his experience that on all out applications that it makes alittle more power and that this is the only fuel i should put in my smallblock
