Bingo!! that is it. That is what I am talking about, why people have this habit of tuning their cars on gas that sometimes can't get anywhere or in other words because if the location where they live is difficult to obatin.

I wish you luck getting your problem solved and getting your car tune but this brings me the main concern of people that want to run turbokits and what not but don't have easy acess to race gas.

I hope you find a realiable source for your gas. Are you going to Buschur to get a queen dyno on C16 or are you planning on running C16 in a normal basis.

Just call VP and they will give you a nearby dealer or two. They are all over.

I know there is a place in southern C'bus that sells VPC16 out of the pump for about $10 a gallon, but if your coming from the north thats too far for you.

sorry I forgot to say where Im coming from, I had been drinking in celebration of the 4th and such. Im coming from milwaukee and I do have a nearby source for 116, they are just closed on the 4th and dont open till 5 on the 5th. Im going to call VP and see if they have something on the way. Also, I talked with Buschur and they told me to bring some with me. I could PM them but I wont know if they can get it until Im already on my way since they are closed today.

Are you talking about running leaded 116 octane? I've never seen UNleaded 116 octane available for sale anywhere...

If you are talking about leaded fuel, you are probably already without a catalytic convertor. If not the cat will be destroyed in short order. And I hope you understand the ramifications of using such fuel with the factory O2 sensors. They will not last very long either, and they are a fairly expensive part to be replacing at regular intervals.

Thanks for the input but if you take a look at my sig, you could probably guess im not running many stock parts anymore( AEM EMS...wideband 02 sensor=not stock, although they say unleaded fuel will shorten the life I know several who run race gas regularly and have no problems..yet). Also, I definatly want leaded 116. If you know where I can get some on the way to Buschur from Wisconsin that would be a great response to this thread. Thanks!!
