A little nitro results
« on: September 26, 2017, 12:30:53 PM »
Went to Epping on Sunday to try again with the small 12 percent nitro mix ! I put my loose converter in and raised my shift to 9200 . First pass went a 7.16 at 185.79 fastest motor pass ever for the car ! Second run 7.15 at 185.77 ! For the first round we went up 1 percent more and went 7.11 at 186.02 ! Second round another 7.11 at 185.77 ! I am very pleased with the performance gain with the 13 percent mix ! A full 3 MPH and solid .1 over the M5 methanol and the M5 was a .1 better than M1 ! I must admit that I was afraid to try it but now that I did I am much more confident in doing so . The best advice I can offer at this time is to be very careful in the beginning ! We started small at 9 percent and 10 percent richer and only ran to the eighth . We pull the plugs all eight every run ! Take baby steps and if something seems wrong it most likely is ! Buy a hydrometer it is much easier to monitor your percentage !

Cool beans Bill, thanks for sharing the results. I guess you need to update your Your Best Time in your avatar  8)

It'll take self control to stop at 12%... another prospective candidate joining the Nitroalcoholics Anonymous group soon...  ;D

Did the engine get to sound a little different with the 12% nitro blend?

I saw a couple of Bill's runs on Sunday. Even with the 12%in it, I could smell the nitro from the grandstands when he was backing up. Great job to Bill, Cathy and BJ for picking up all of that ET and not hurting anything! I'm sure it's got a lot left in it too. The car looks phenomenal with the new paint and detailing.
