    Default how to pick your fuel.

    i have been looking into build mine own track car, so far i feel a pretty good start with a b18a1 block, bored .020 over eagle rods, cp pistons. i have came to the point were i do not want to use pump gas for this car, i have a great civic coupe that i can pump 87 in. i have been doing some reading about and looking a vp site, i have came across a few different types of fuel to run, but i just don't know which one to run. i down to about three. vp's c16,q16 and vp import fuel. my question is how do you know what type of fuel is best for your car, or your set up you plan on using, also i'm boosting this motor and i'm shooting for 500.

    can someone please help?

    That is going to get expensive real fast. I don't see why you don't just run 93 octane at the pump and tune on that.

    If this is gonna be a track car, I don't think distance would be too much of a problem and E85 may be cheaper.
