WOT stands for wide open throttle. It is just a very rich setting which makes the car move very slowly on full throttle. Start with a few tanks and then adjust it leaner in steps until you think you can go on sharp.
thanks for reply... but will different plugs cause different in the head clearance??? i simply add up a 0.20 shim to my JP 0.12 when i started using 25% nitro... what is the cause that we need to decrease or increase head clearance??? is it ok if i add too much shim??? maybe like 0.2 too much or so... thanks again...
