Holy good God is right.
The power of this thing on race gas is just over the top.
How often do you plan on running around on race gas?
How much are you paying for C16? I am payind $55 for 5 gallons of VP Racing 100 octane. No, my car hasn't been tuned for this extra octane--I am simply mixing some in to help deter detonation.

Not too often.
I can get VP C16 for about $10.00 a gallon here. And no tune works too well for street driving on C16. It does make some power though.
I have a switch under the dash that I use to flip from a pump gas tune to the race gas tune in the EMS. We just used a nitrous map wired to the switch and it works great.
I will run it at the track, etc. I have an event this coming weekend at O'Reilly Racewway Park and plan to just run my gear-boosted map on 93 octane.
I will post a time slip as soon as I have one.
The place in which I purchase the 100 octane gas sells all of the VP Racing products. I am not sure how much they are selling the C16 for. For all I know it could be the same price as the 100 octane. Anyways, that switch sounds pretty cool. I was thinking about having my car tuned for race gas, and simply loading that calibration when I am at the track. Obviously a switch is more convenient.
