Leave the Truck Stock for break in, read the engine manual that comes with it..... Don't touch any screws till it is time to. You might have to charge the glow plug igniter over nite.. Have Fun

I usually pay $25.99 a gallon for 20%.
So no its not overpriced.????
I have been running Sidewinder 16% and I get it for $15.99 a gallon.
I tried Trinity and didn't like it.Foamed.

hpi 20% is what it recommends i pay 22.99 a gallon.
Just be patient follow the break in procedure to the letter. and leave it completely stock til its broke in, Remember ther eis plenty of time for upgrades after break in.

Just a tip!
It's a good idea to get extra glow plugs! Most people new to this sport think they are like spark plugs and will last a long time but, this is not the case! If you are using the right plug and the right fuel for your truck or car it can last for quite a while but again most newbies get what ever the LHS tells them to get! Sometimes they give you the right stuff but, more often than not they just give you what ever cost the most! 
You can expect to go through some plugs during break-in! It is a safe bet to just get what the manufacturer recommends and later find what will work best for you for cost and performance!
