A new race fuel from VP. It is the same octane as their C16 but is oxygenated. Testing has shown that it makes more power then C16 since about 4-6% more fuel needs to be used to stay at the same AFR.
here is the specs for Q16
here is the specs for Q16
NEW! Q16
Q16 will work well in any drag racing or circle track application -- naturally aspirated, nitrous or blowers. Q16 is highly oxygenated, requiring a 4-6% increase in fuel flow, which will make 3-5% more power than competitive 116 octane fuels. Q16's oxygenation will significantly expand the range of air/fuel ratio acceptability, so performance will be more consistent and won't vary as dramatically with altitude or density changes. For bracket racers, variations in ET from run to run will be substantially reduced. This added fuel flow also effectively increases its octane by 6-8 numbers above its standard ASTM octane rating.
Color: Yellow
Oxygenated: Yes
Motor Octane 116
Research Octane: 120+
Specific Gravity: .716 at 60° F

With any fuel, the car must be tuned for that set octane. Throwing higher octane into a car is not going to make more power unless the tune is changed.

you should switch it and say q16 vs 110 cuz i just followed the numbers straight down. i knew it didn't make sense but thats why i asked lol. that is a crazy difference though, and its awesome! think you'd get in the 9's with that in the 1/4 mile?
