Should I use VP16 race fuel.

[396375]

I'm going to the track in 2 days.I have a dead stock 2010 MKS ECO.I'm running a  Stage 4 Plus X 93 tune from Livernois.I'll be starting with pump 94 and I have about 2 1/2 gallons of VP16.Will the race fuel kill my O2 sensor?
Thanks

If its leaded it will def damage the O2 sensors.  They arent cheap to replace.

I can't find VP16 on their website.

I think that's overkill...94 or 96 octane will likely be enough to allow the knock sensors to give you the max allowed spark anyway.

Also important about the fuel is that the stoic point is similar to that of your pump gas, otherwise your fuel trims can be off and that could have the same effect as adding too much ethanol which LMS says not to add on their tunes.

I know LMS recommends using VP-(MS109) in conjunction with there race tune.
So pump 94 Petrol is equivalent to 91 octane US ?   I would also worry about your knock sensors.

I did see VP-C16!!!. Z

I guess that would surprise me a bit considering they have said they don't like people adding E85 to their tunes...the stoic point I have found for ms 109 is about 13.4 which would be like running an E22 mix

I would think it would be fine but it was lms that always said that

The stoic point of that fuel would tax your fuel system a bit more than pump gas since the stoic is lower

He said vp16 not vp c16

And that c16 is leaded so I would not run that...but I would call vp and ask instead of asking forum people about race fuels
