Torco-VP

[beets442]

Most of us know Torco's out and VP is in. Anyone running VP-110 in there rides. I've been mixing fuels and run about 30% VP110 w/ 93 octane. At 7.25 a gal. its harder to afford. Starts better on cold days and smells good. Beets

I have run VP and Torco in my race cars for years....VP is setting the new standard, now that Torco has gone belly-up! But it comes with a healthy price tag. My engine builder has been running VP on the dyno in the ARCA /BUSCH series motors they build with great results. On average the engines are running 15 degrees cooler. So I hope this is the case for my two cycle, but it is unknown at this time.

I heard the same about the temp too, but didn't know for sure. I like it, runs great!

VP is using a new fuel with an added oxygen variable, what ever that means I'm no chemist. They tell me that this is what is keeping lower temperatures in place. This isn't the case with all VP fuel options though, so becarefull on what you are buying. I can't remember at this time which VP fuel it is, but I will get back to you when I find out tomorrow! There distibutor cost is between 500.00 and 600.00 dollars a barrel which is 55 gallons of fuel. So that averages out to be over 9.00 a gallon......way expensive!

VP C-113 is the oxygenated fuel in the last post I was talking about.....
