Default vp c-10 and compression.

Im looking for a fuel to run in my street strip sporty. Last year i ran vp u4.4, it made a difference in power but the stuff is so corrosive. Im looking for a good fuel that i can use and leave in the bike. my compression is 11 to 1.

93 octane pump gas without ethanol in it is impossible to find anymore where i am from. Its all 91 with corn in it.

looks like the c 10 is unleaded, octane is 96. I get very confused on the vp website, there are 100s of fuels to pick from.

im only looking at this fuel because it is used in the nrha harley davidson hot street class

i think ill stick with my vp u4.4 fuel. I might have crossed the point to where there arent a lot of answers out there for the questions i ask or nobody wants to share. Or there arent too many racer/motor heads on here. Shame the ahdra forum went down, lots of guys helped out there. Any other drag racing forums for vtwins around the net?

it's either blaze 100, c-10 or the 4.4. A guy at vp said the 4.4 will give me more power and i have proved that twice on the dyno testing.

He said the other two are cleaner burning, Whats the difference if its cleaner or not?

He said the 4.4 is not hard on engine or fuel parts.
