shipping to Philly will be no more then $20 a case if you order from EBMods, or Lucky 7 RC. We're happy you decided to get a JS.

I am leaning towards 25% just because some of the other engines that I have. I don't want to have 20% in one, 25% in another and 30% in something else. Will the JS full mod disagree with 25%? 25 is a good middle ground for everything I have. Let me know what you guys think.

The JS comes shimmed for 25% - 30% nitro.

you should let Alan and Mike from Hobby Hut know you want to buy EBMods fuel. They can order it for you too.

25% nitro will work out just fine. Due to Danish legislation, 25% is all we're allowed to race here. As mentioned already, the engine is set up to use 25-30% so you don't have to touch anything. The lower nitro content might make it necessary to use a hotter plug (thank you JPalessi).

being that your changing fuel you should idle a tank before race tuning.

no prob! I've been running the 8mm w/ a 2041 and have been getting over 10mins everywhere. I would try them all and see what fits your driving/car the best.
