Don't go pricing MR-12, I've always thought of Q-16 as mid grade race fuel.

"FREE SAMPLE"

VP-16 is $20/gallon. OMG 



"FREE SAMPLE"

Will the Mummerts be offering this as a crate engine?   

The engine is out of the white T-Bird.  The car went 9.70 @ 138mph a months back at Bakersfield. The 60'ft was off .08 hundredths from Sacramento, after chasing it around we figured out it was slipping forward clutch in the C4.   The cars will be running C Gas which is a 9.60 class.  We've made a few skunk works changes to the chassis so I think it will cover the number without any problem.

 The engine is running on VP Q-16

Holy Mackerel! that is flat out awesome numbers all the way around. 

I am reminded of what a race official said to me at last June's Fast Fords. "I just can't believe how the guys constantly thrash these Y Blocks!" We gained a lot of respect among the FE crowd. They were impressed by both the horsepower output and the abuse that the engines were receiving - without catastrophic failure. The only issue I can recall had to do with a driveshaft that got wrenched in two!

Always thought highly of center sumps.  Most cars its a non starter, but this one let it happen.
