RE: Nitro %'s
Guys,
Everybody seems to like running the high nitro, why? Just about every car engine on the market was designed to run on 16% nitro as its optimal nitro percentage.
If these little car engines were designed to run on 30% nitro, then why do they have a head shim or two in them to make them tolerate 30%?
If you were to take out the head shims and retune the engine, those of you that have been running 30% could easily run 20% or LESS.
Here's some of the benefit of using less nitro:
The same or better power once shims removed and retuned
More runtime per tank
Costs a lot less.
Easier on plugs
