At most of the races I attend I am about 7-8 seconds faster in 5 minutes using 25 over 16. A good pit stop is about 5-6 seconds more than the average laptime. I can run the engine richer with 25, and make more power than running lean with 16. This helps engine life.
thats alot of extra runtime there, thats 4 minutes in a 30 minute main,thats a whole lotta laps, my jp is BANGIN w/power, i really dont need any more, well my pits are gonna be as fast as they can be, speaking of wich, whats the best non-leaking fuel gun out there, i have a new kyosho that drips....is the rb or novarossi any good...uriah do you still have that eagle 9 conrod for me? i need asap, please pm me and lmk how soon u can get it to me, thanks for responses, seems like i might lean into 20% and have the best of both worlds...lol... i will test on sat, i have 16% 9%oil byrons, and a gallon of 25% powermaster<not sure of oil content there>...with a stopwatch i will compare laptimes, runtimes etc, and find my fit.....
