What is the "right direction" you're trying to steer people exactly? How you run your car? Should we all do that? You're right, there is more than one way to skin a cat. We're all pretty fond of how we do it, aren't we?
It's obvious from this thread that there is a lot of misinformation out there about nitro. Pardon me for trying to clear up old wives tales and myths when I see them. I assume most people would like facts and not fiction. Maybe some folks would like to hear about a different way to skin a cat!
As for your question: ("How do you manage to get HUNDREDS of passes on a nitro motor at 75% and the Funny car guys at 90% only manage to get two or three rounds if they are lucky")...
I run a small, naturally aspirated, injected nitro motor making about 980 HP and turning 7.30's.
Those guys are SUPERCHARGED, 90% nitro at tremendous boost levels making 6000+HP turning 4.40's. Big difference, that's how.

Someone can get on here and give their OPEN opinions but when they get another Opinion in the form of feedback they get all bent out of shape...Gezzz :roll: ..
Spud not all of us are professional's like yourself..with that said many people on here are LAYMEN of the sport and some ACTUALLY TRY WHAT THEY READ
I read your original post OVER AND OVER and i come to the same conclusion each time in that your post is very much leaning toward "its ok to run 50%-75" Nitro and Not hurt your motor cause i do it for hundreds of passes myself...What information does this spell for the LAYMEN...?.."It's ok to run 50%-75% Nitro for hundreds of passes with no issues..
so IN MY OPINION your post AT BEST was Mis-leading to the common racer..Maybe some other fuel experts followed you.
and NO i do not give advise and make claims as large as you did..cause i know people may try what they read. :shock:
AGAIN THIS IS JUST MY OPINION...so feel free to un-wad those panties
