No need to stop in Terre Haute guys. Tuxedo Park Racing is now a VP Racing retailer! I am placing an order this afternoon.

I can only sell sealed containers, but you guys can pitch in and share if you want. Prices include tax. C-16 5 gallon pail $62.50. C-16 15 gallon drum 202.50 includes $10 drum deposit. 15 gallons is more expensive the first time but VP has a refill program that can get you your next 15 a bit cheaper.

How much you want me to get?

I love you Steve... No more driving out to bum **** Egypt for this stuff.

Oh and how much for a 54 gallon drum because I might just buy one this May when I get back for the racing season....

You need to talk to your tuner about the type of fuel to use.

Nobody and I mean NOBODY can compete with VP C16. Nothing is comparable.

John,
If you're talking about the Sunoco TT118, It will work fine but you will have to use whatever fuel you were tuned for since each race gas have different specific gravity and could affect the tune. From experience, TT118 made less hp than the C16.

Cool, I will have plenty of C16 in stock. John, we can check on the Gateway thing some more but as we discussed it's kind of a moot point being February and all.

But the real question is who's going to step up and tune on some VP Import? I'll have that in as well. 120+ motor octane and 5% more power than C16. That's what I'll be going with for my first gen.

Is this party full or is there room for some more? I've had steve tune my car before but I later found out my turbine wheel was beaten to hell causing a very slow spool. From my understanding if I rebuild the turbo it will effect my spool rate therefor making me need a new tune.

I was going to reply to Lupe with the VP Import but you beat me. I don't think i'll be using it, to rich for my blood, isn't it like $22 a gallon? I think its pump gas + meth for me and maybe some C16 if steve has time.

Yeah, if you tuned on a bad turbo. You'll need a new tune if you got that turbo rebuilt.

I have 2 guys that have paid but aren't sure if they'll have their cars done in time.

I would try it if I was going for 40 + psi of boost

Steve, you might want to order some RC-3 racing castor from VP fuels. Great Pre-mix for rotaries !

A case of RS-7 full synthetic 2-cycle oil is already on the way. I don't have pricing on the lubricants and 2 stroke oil yet. Castor oil is great stuff, but clogs cats so it is definitely for race cars only.

I don't know anyone who owns a rotary with a cat

I thought all rotaries are "Race Cars"
