Street blaze tm

“Several of VP’s leaded racing fuels--notably C16, NO2 and

VP Import--have been used in recent years with great success by the top Sport Compact race teams,” Hendel continued. “However, we also wanted to make sure the sportsmen racers and those who simply want the top performance from their street vehicles had viable options. The StreetBlaze series of unleaded fuels is intended to address that need.”

The StreetBlaze series includes:

“In 4-cylinder or 6-cylinder applications, or engines equipped with a turbo charger, supercharger or nitrous oxide system (NOS), these oxygenated fuels will generate optimum power and performance,” Hendel affirmed. “In turbocharged or supercharged applications, StreetBlaze fuels allow an increase in boost without fear of detonation. NOS users can also leverage the fuels’ higher octane ratings to step up to a more powerful nitrous oxide system. Importantly, these fuels contain no metal compounds and won’t harm catalytic converters or oxygen sensors.”

“These fuels are designed for racing applications, but will help generate optimum power and performance in any high performance automotive application,” Hendel pointed out. “StreetBlaze 100 is street legal throughout the U.S., but while StreetBlaze 101 and 103 are street legal in many states, we suggest our customers consult their local and state regulations to ensure compliance in their particular area before using these two fuels on the street. VP Racing has not conducted a nationwide search to ensure compliance in all states and local areas. We also encourage our customers to obey all traffic and safety laws. They should confine their racing activities to the track and use appropriate safety gear as well.”

“We’re confident Sport Compact enthusiasts will enjoy the performance gains they’ll realize with this new family of fuels.
