Default Which Fuel?

Which racing fuel % do you all use, which blend gives the most power to the engine? Also what would be the best choice for my RC8 FT with the OS vspec that is having the AB mods stage 2 done? Thanks fellas.

I'm not trying to be a smart ellic, but if you have to ask what fuel I'm not sure you have enough time in tuning or on the track to get onto the high nitro mixtures, probably the safest 30% fuel you can use is Werks and it has always worked real well for the long hard runs with myself and other racers here in Northern California. Get out that temp gun and start experimenting is the only good way to tell because there are so many differences one can't say from one track to another. We always kept 3 different fuels with us and used what worked best that day.

I use byrons 20% religously. And ive never had a problem with my break in or snapped rods anything. Ive broke in almost 30 engines. Now for my cheap nitro cars like the 89.00 mini i use blue thunder 20%
