25-30% pop

This my pick Bill, just pour it and run. Have you ever tipped the can instead spraying?
   I have never tried nitro in my car I think that I have too much compression for it at 14.9 but I have run the m5 methanol and I was very impressed with it . I picked up .08 without any real tuning I richened it up a little and ran it .

I don't think 14.9 compression is too high for 20-25% nitro, I know a SWJFA guy picked-up .20 with 20%.
14.9 is too high for high % nitro.

Have Fun !

Got a local guy that picked up a tenth with 10%-12% and a little fatter main.
