Monte I'm not trying to start anything, last thing I like is keyboard wars, but I was recently reading through one of the VP Powermaster threads on here and you posted that you ran 12qts of VP and said it was very good fuel. I'm just wondering how come your opinion changed on this matter and now you don't recommend it? Please don't take this as me instigating anything, I am just curious as to what happened?
Ive tried s&w
Ive used trinity monster horsepower ,sidewinder old worlds blend , blue thunder , odonnell and a few others back in the day , since ive started using byrons fuels in '07 i havent ever looked at switching fuels
Ive tried a few other fuels for testing purposes since switching to byrons but haven't never seen any better protection ever
Xlnt fuel , unequalled consistency*

I don't think you can blame VP for your problems, more a user error. Per your thread, LRP recommended you use 25% nitro or higher and you used 20% with 14% oil package. Also, you tried leaning out a brand new engine too fast before it was broken in and that's why it would not run. The reason why your engine ran better on Byron's is because of the higher nitro content and leaner oil package. Not trying to start any fights, but I wouldn't blame the fuel in this case.

Werks Race Blend 30% - simply put, it rocks.
Performance and protection at very high levels. The oil package in this stuff is cutting edge.

I just ran through my first gallon of Punch racing fuel, and man, I was supper impressed with the throttle response, power, and how crisp it felt. Don't sleep on the Punch Racing fuel, it's good stuff. After another gallon I'll open up the engine and check on internal but so far so good. It had my engines screaming down the front straight at RC Tracks of Las Vegas.

Come back when you've broken in an engine on that, then ran it until it started behaving irratic, and let us know how long it lasted. That's the most important thing.
Almost all fuels "perform" down the straight. The important thing is how well they protect the engine.

Doesn't matter half as much as how long an engine lasts when you've run only that fuel through the engine.

Come on man.. you know I'm right, in order to give a verdict on a fuel you really have to have used it for a considerable time, preferably ran an entire engine out on it. I really wasn't looking for an argument, just saying that's how it is.
