Folks, I am a bit disgruntled with the VP fuel situation. For one, the price has just gotten totally out of hand. And secondly, are other folks seeing the amount of corrosion in the chambers, exhaust ports and header ID ?? I realize regarding the header ID, most folks probably have the ID jethot/nitroplate coated..mine are only coated on the outside. But I am more concerned about the internal corrosion.. There is even a remnant of what appears to be some corrosion on the cylinder walls... I am stepping it up this year with a new block, and mega $$$ metric rings, and the last thing I want is to have corrosion issues wiping out those rings..

I can see oxygenated fuels doing this, but C-11 ??

Good alternatives to C-11 in a low compression combo ???

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Kevin
