What are your thoughts on the C12, C14, C16 & VP113 oxygenated in a 1340 GSXR N/A?

 C-16 is blown apps and nitrous fuel.. Bad choice for N/A 
It would slow you down.
 
14 is a great fuel for high comp/high rpm N/A
If you have relatively low compression C12 might even make more power than 14
 
The oxygenated fuels like Q16, C23 or VP import would make more power than any of the others.
 
I was taking to a guru, who was spittin' out some who do, and this hoodoo was no voodoo..... but a blessing in disguise

I run C14 in my 13.5/1 1428 Kawasaki. It works well. Kevin at FBG told me that's what they use. I tried  the the oxygenated 16 but I  needed to change needles so I never got it rich enough.  I think with the proper set up the 16 would have made more power, I may try it again next year. I do run Trons. 
I am not sure I understand everything I don't know about this particular situation.

P.S. I am N/A also, no power jets. The Q16 does smell quite strong, most of my helpers didn't like the smell.

I would say 14-1 is too much for C12...

C14 or C25 would be the right non-oxygenated fuel.
 
The oxygenated stuff makes big power.. but I dont like handling mutant carcenogens.

They make a U4.2 fuel  that I use in my 1200 12.5to1 ZX12....Works good if your not using big compression....
Life in the fast lane........
