I'm going to link this thread here from 3 different thread I
found.

Racesaws was loaded with good info on subjects like this. :'(

You should try VP M5. We use it in our gx200 kart engines.
They say 5-7% more horsepower but if you have the compression to
utilize the nitroparaffins you'll get more like 20%. Plus it's
premixed and stable unlike normal nitromethane. They'll sell it
in a 5 gallon drum and it will stay fresh in the drum for a long
time.

Nitrodine I used to run in hotsaws and was for karts. Had like
8 ingredients and 12% to 15% nitro.
I'm out of this stuff since 2010.

I know there was some yellow colored fuel a guy aka woodheater
username from Sandusky, tested here at the house from VP that
had to be flushed. It had great gains in a gas saw that could
flow it.

Thanks Kevin. I'll look into that stuff Shaun. This other than
woods port stuff is a lot more interesting.

Check out "Spuds nitro notes" lots of good info especially in
regards to jetting for different %'s of nitro. Not what you
might expect as the specific gravity of nitro vs methanol.
Creates an interesting jetting dynamic below 30%

I text woodheater and he has 4gal of that yellow VP left he
would give me. I dont want it. He said when he gets back home
he would text me what it was.
Wish he would come on here and tell you about it. I was
impressed with it for the short time I seen it running in his
gas saws and gains.

Havent heard back but looking at the VP fuel I am thinking this
was it. I am only guessing, not sure.
VP Q16
Q16 will work well in any drag racing application -- naturally
aspirated, nitrous or blowers. Q16 is highly oxygenated,
requiring a 4-6% increase in fuel flow, which will make 3-5%
more power than competitive 116 octane fuels. Q16's oxygenation
will significantly expand the range of air/fuel ratio
acceptability, so performance will be more consistent and won't
vary as dramatically with altitude or density changes. For
bracket racers, variations in ET from run to run will be
substantially reduced. This added fuel flow also effectively
increases its octane by 6-8 numbers above its standard ASTM
octane rating.
TYPICAL VALUES
• Color: Yellow
• Motor Octane 116
• Research Octane: 120+
• Specific Gravity: .716 at 60° F

If I was closer I'd take that leftover stuff. I'm going to call
a couple motorcycle shops today and see if they have anything.
