you better have some really good stuff in the bottom end of the engine set up..or you will bring it home in a box..
Nitromethane keeps exploding and expanding the entire length of the stroke and more if it could..so this means if you have cheaper parts as rods, piston,crank department it will push them straight thru the bottom of the oil pan...when the Top fuel funny car guys lose cylinders.most of the time its the nitro taking out cylinders..of course this is at 90%....
all it takes is one mixture too strong and your done..
i go-cart raced back in the early thru the late 80's..and we would run this stuff in our GO-CART motors....unfreakin real what it would do..
i am not saying DO NOT use it...but i am saying please do your home work on this stuff and fully understand how it works..
the Funny car guys are lobbying to bring back the Higher content of Nitro mixture. they claim it will be easier on parts in that they would not have to run their compression ratio's soo high that is currently needed to give the initial POP on the piston at the begining of the stroke.....
my cost on Nitro back when i sold it 6/1/2006..this was ANGUS brand.
500lbs nitrofuel 100 $1,150 w/d- $825.00
500lbs VP nitro 100 $1,000 w/d-$750.00
500lbs = 52.3 gallons
RETAIL W/D
1 gallon- $48.00 $25.44
5 gallon- $194.00 $115.70
15 gallon- $454.65 $344.10
30 gallon- $881.70 $667.20
This was a year ago..its probably up like the rest of the fuel.
compared to most of VP exoctic fuels the price is very reasonable considering you would mix 50%.....
look at this price tag on c-44
54 gallon drum- retail $2,400
