Re: Stocker Low Compression Approved Fuel.
First choice VP C-11.2nd Sunoco standard 110. Both are leaded fuels.Pump gas is not legal at a NHRA divisional,nat.open or national event. gsa612

Same recommendation. I've tried both on the dyno and saw no discernible difference.

Re: Stocker Low Compression Approved Fuel.
Bill,
Is there a jetting or timing difference in the two fuels?

Re: Stocker Low Compression Approved Fuel.
Sunoco tech recommends Sunoco 'Surge' as their best low compression fuel at 105 octane over 260 GTX fuel. It is now on the the approved fuel list. Supposed to have some better qualities than 260GTX.

Re: Stocker Low Compression Approved Fuel.
When Pete had his 80 305 we dynoed Sunoco110,C12,C11 and even tried C25 ($20+ gal.at the time).The C11 was worth about 5,it liked to be 1 step richer on the sec. rod. over the C12 and the 110.The C25 came around after changing timing, jets,rods,moving the cam.In the end it showed a couple of HP over the C11.Some guys were seeing close to 10 on BBC.On the SBC the minimal gains did not justify the cost.So C11 it was! gsa612.

Re: Stocker Low Compression Approved Fuel.
C11 works well, better than the older
Sunoco supreme, have not tried the newer unleaded fuels, c25 was a tick quicker but Expensive as stated earlier would only use for class or heads up.
