Default RE: Pending shortage of nitromethane

Tell Don Garlits that nitro isn't the only way to make power.
Take my $40 AP .061 and show me how to replace the power lost from running it on 0% nitro without doing $200+ worth of machine work.
Might as well buy a couple Cyclons and pocket the change.
Even with .15 sized engines, the throttle response is so much crisper with 30% nitro VS .15%
If 0% nitro engines in this size range gave better all around handling there would already be lines wrapped around the block to buy them.
