Default 110? Or C16? For Stand alone fuel system

I have a C5Z HCI, nitrous outlet direct port fast 102 intake, LNC-2000 to pull timing and a stand alone fuel system running @ 7psi. I run 93 in the cars fuel tank but wanted to know what fuel is recommended in the fuel cell. Some say 110, c16, c20. I plan on using a 200 shot.

Use what fuel is easily available to you. Ive used 110 VP for over a decade with no issues, I tried C12 once and on a 150hp shot didn't notice much in the datalogs/runs.

You can get by with 110 but we recommend C16 -Matt

Brother, that Direct Port system is the way to go.... In retrospect, I wish I would have done that in the beginning. I am considering adding a direct Port this summer....

How is the VP N02 fuel compared to C16? What is best for my set up?

We have a Sunoco dealer near us and they sell everything. Brandon recommended I use MaxNOS. What octane is that. I called them for a price this week and they quoted me $83 for a 5-gallon container. I guess I'm glad I'm only to run in the fuel cell for the nitrous.
