VP Q16
Yellow · Leaded · Oxygenated · LEADED
Intercooled forced induction drag.
VP blends Q16 fuel primarily for intercooled, forced-induction drag race applications. It's one of VP's oxygenated, leaded fuels. It is required to increase fuel flow by 4-6% because it's highly oxygenated. Q16 make 3-5% more power than competitive 116 octane fuels, and the added fuel flow effectively increases the octane of the fuel by 6-8 numbers above its standard ASTM octane rating, resulting in greater detonation protection.
It's great for use in any naturally aspirated drag race or truck pull application that doesn’t require fuel rules. This fuel is also popular in jet limited nitrous drag applications.
