VP to Sunoco reference
 
Is there a VP to Sunoco equivalency reference chart anywhere and typical tune changes between fuels?

Is VP C-10 Leaded or Unleaded?

Re: VP to Sunoco reference
 
C-10 is unleaded. (Now C-9 also unleaded)

Is there a leaded fuel with a lower octane (100 or less) out there that is NHRA Approved?

Re: VP to Sunoco reference
 
What you want to pay attention to is the SG and RVP of the different fuels. Similar specs on both will usually need similar jetting and perform close. If either deviate you will likely need to make changes. As far as lower octane than 100, what are you looking to lower octane for?

I have a 9:25.1 Compression Ratio Motor. It would run much more efficiently on a lower octane fuel than 110.

The best way to get the specs for race fuel comparisons is from each manufacturers web site. The specs change fairly often. The above referenced chart is out of date I believe. You'll want to pay close attention to the Motor Octane, and the RVP number.
Most companies also have a crossover on their web sites to make it easier to switch between brands.
And race gas for lower compression engines is available from a number of sources. Sunoco, Renegade, VP all make race gas for lower CR engines.

Mike,

Thanks, for the info ... What low CR gas is approved for NHRA /IHRA & what would you recommend for an 8 to 1 ???
