Which fuel

Cost is not an issue with me so this should not be in the equation. I think everyone knows that I am upgrading my fuel system, so for all the tuners out there which fuel should I choose for my final tune? C16, Q16 or e85?
Thank you
Robert

Rob, I think the difference between the E85 & C16 is not that big. I went with the E85 just for the convenience of being available at the pump...no drums & the $3.25 a gallon is just icing on the cake...

I wonder what Todd Z, Switzer or Justin think about these three different types of fuels? Bluey is now just a weekend warrior, hence I will not be driving it much except for events and rides in wild mexico.

VP Motorsport 109 is great if you don't care what it costs.

VP Racing Fuel's Q16, when tuned to the ragged edge, expect only ~5% more from going to the outrageously priced VP Import, but if price is no object, then go for it.

Exactly what I mean. you will use double the volume on E85, need larger injectors & an adequate fuel system.
