it but bring a fire extinguisher it tends to externally combust becasue of the exhaust shoots a flame into the tank through the presseure line!
That doesnt make any sence. But anyways the dragsters also are making 7000 hp and are using a huge blower. Thats why if you ever drop a intake valve on one of them they will shoot the blower off of the engine. Remember thats more hp per cylinder then a nascar engine makes with the whole engine. But anyways they also drop cylinders just doing there burn out and just driving down the 1/4 mile track. I seen a drag bike (in a video) where he was in the staging area. Right before the gren light they reved up the engine's and wammm. The piston blew out through the head and hit he guys forarm.
It wasnt pretty. But anyways that gallon is about right. Nitro isnt cheap by any means and you wont really find it much cheaper. Thats about right and you shouldnt complain about it. As doing it this way would actually be cheaper then buying the fuel by the gallon. I know for vp racing methanol we get 5 gallons and 1 quart of klotz oil for 23 dollars.
Think about that for 5 plus gallons of fuel thats only $70 or a little more. I pay more then that for 3 gallons of 20 percent. So you get an extra 2 gallons for basically free. Hey now that I think about it I might be making my own home brew here sooner then later. Do the math. WELL HERE I WILL DO IT FOR YOU.
$70 for 20% fuel of home brew. Or (23 is what I pay for fuel) $23 x 5 equaly out to $115. Thats $45 dollars saving here for just 5 gallons of fuel.
