i've never raced with this fuel before. just wondering is it just as simple as adding it and your good to go or does the car need to be tuned on it? and what times have you run with it and without it.

I'd like to know where everybody buys C16 at $5 a litre. Maybe 2 years ago, but even now, if we buy 4x 200 litre drums between us, the cost is over $7.50 a litre. If you purchase it in 20 litre drums, the going price is about $182.50, or just over $9 a litre. The difference between pump fuel and C16 when TUNED correctly would be in the region of 40-100hp at the tyres in most cars. MASSIVE difference. You'll actually make less power if you run this fuel without tuning. 6BOOST

Only thing's I had to watch out for though were to make sure the car was running no catalytic converter's, or "punched out" one's, and to have a spare 02/oxygen sensor, as the lead in C16 will foul it, and make the car start freaking out!

its not about the hp rating you gain from it.. its about the 15psi more boost you can crank into it as well as throwing timing into it as well.. to say 40 - 100hp is fair enough.. but then when you add boost you can go from 350rwkw on pulp to much more than 100hp extra on c16 Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
