Just got tuned on C16

I had my stand alone fuel cell installed today and got it tuned for C16. Not only is it much safer, but I also picked up 20rwhp, so I'm pretty excited. I'm picking the car up tomorrow, and I'll post some pictures of everything.

It is a leaded fuel that is 116 octane. It has a greater resistance to detonation. He probably was able to add timing giving the power gain.

Yes, we were able to add timing.

~$17 a gallon

I only use it when I spray so it'll last me a while.

Understand the majority of your fuel still comes from your injectors using whats in your tank, people overlook that. Your overall octane is not even close to the c16 in the cell. I've seen many head gaskets blown this way by people not understanding and tuning too aggressive. Just something to keep an eye on.
