Thanks

The popular nitro content ranges from 20-30%. Most serious racers probably run 30%.
The Byrons fuel, which is what I run also, has 11% oil I believe. Anything around that seems to be plenty sufficient for lubrication.
As I have been told, 30% can actually run cooler than lower nitro percentages, but my personal experience has been that I can't tell a huge difference between 20 or 30% performance-wise.

I run Sidewinder World Championship 30% it works great for me, it is red so I can see it in my tank and fuel gun, it has after run oil in it, and it is the same from gallon to gallon. I went from Sidewinder to Nitrotane with catastrophic results. I will stay with Sidewinder. I was told that the engines love Castor oil and most of the fuels use synthetic oil. I think EB Mods fuel has Castor oil in it and they are 11%, I think I will try it with my next motor.

I run sidewinder 30% switched from byron gen 2. Ive had nothing but great luck with sidewinder plus it really keeps the inside of the motor well lubricated.

I ran O'donnell 20% for the last two years and had great results. Now its 40 bucks a gallon at tower + shipping. Im going to byrons 25% and hope it works well for me. O'donnell is the best if you can buy it at your local shop. If not go Byrons or Sidewinder. Im not a pro just my 2cent. I think 30% is for the top 5% of drivers that need every advantage at big races.
