I have ran the 10% with 18% oil in my cars and boats and it worked qiute well. now I have moved up to 20% nitro. and it seems to give alittle snappier throttle response and a noticable top end. bottom line is when the nitro content is higher and the oil content is lower, the engine wont last as long. This si why Im running the 20% airplane blend now, because it gives me half syn and half castor and a hack of alot more oil then most of the 20% car fuels give.
