I`ve recently switched over to E85 for my main fuel and this means my methanol injection setup is now redundant for what I originally used it for (knock suppression).

I have a set of 6 0.3mm jets in port injection location so I`m going to do a little experimenting with some RC fuel, I also have some 0.8`s and 1.0`s to play with.

Due to the nature of nitromethane and the world wide shortage all I can get my hands on is a gallon bottle of 33% nitro RC fuel for testing (reading here I need near pure nitromethane for the best results?).

All my testing will be done at 1/4 mile events, I see trap speed as the best measure of how well my car produces power. Currently I trap 115mph.

Each event I`ll dial the car in first on straight E85 and get some consistant runs in, then inject nitro at differing amounts and see how my trap is affected.

Should have some results by mid 2009.

Just bought a new clutch so fitting that`s the first job on the cards..

Also if anyone knows a supplier in the UK for pure nitro I`m all ears .
