About 2/3rds of a drum of C12. Thats one of the reasons the car went bye bye, not using it. 
In God we trust, all others pay cash.

We have a guy bring us 2 fives to every race. We use most of this if we go rounds(always). FWIW. we have had open partials that we use up to 4 weeks apart with no apparent loss in power.

i'll be using Q16 next year in 2 of the race cars so i want to make sure it doesnt lose its consistency.
whats the going price for it these days?

whats your take on Q16 in a 11.2 hemi motor?
i know it really helps the high compression motors with the oxygen content in the Q16, but wonder if you'd see any gains with 11.2 compression? thanks

You will see a 5% HP gain and your plugs will be cleaner. You have to drain your fuel system if the car is going to sit for a couple of weeks. You will need to up your jet size about 5 numbers.

I went through:
55 gallons of race alky (methanol)
and about 100 gallons of E85. That is cheaper than pump 87 and way cheaper than pump premium 
i used around 100 to 150 gallons of E85 myself
