I have hobby RC Stadium Trucks that run on race fuel = 33% Nitro,15% Oil, And remainder is mostly Alcohol to promote cooler burn. I added 1 gallon of my race fuel into my 99' Cummins and Holy Cow! 40 psi boost, noticeable power increase and only 1250 egt, comp 5x5. That hobby race fuel is something else. I added one gallon to about 1/3 tank of fuel so I had a pretty good mix of nitro, lube, and alcohol. Anyone else ever tried this... Race fuel is 15 $ per gallon.

 

I would recommend against doing this. Nitromethane is something to be respected. I know of 2 Cummins engines and one Duramax that have melted down from running very small amounts of Nitromethane.

notttt tooo good!

 

Awww,

Come on Brandon, it adds power so it must be good.....

Lets Try it Guys!

 

Add money to your savings account for a new engine everytime you do this.

 

wheew bad idea we tried this a fews year back on an alcohol injected, aftermarket block and head equipped 408 in a 10.5 tired outlaw shootout car. It was a very well done dry sump style engine. The nitromethane beat the bearings out of the block and we were ingesting very small amounts through a nitrous solenoid. yes it made more power for a short time. A very short time.

 

Use it in your toys, not your diesel truck unless you happen to have a "spare" Cummins laying around.

Bad idea, but hey..have fun.

Sort of like "hold my beer and watch this...."

 

Nitro runs good in RC cars!

And it makes you feel funny sniffing the exhaust fumes! Also makes youre eyes water like crazy!

 

I wonder how much damage you have done thus far you dont know about?

 

Why am I thinking of the phrase Bottle Rocket????

Come on guys, lets think about this seriously. He did say it added power. After thinking on this today, Ive have come to the conclusion that if he added one gallon to the tank and it ran real good I bet two gallons would make it run even better.
I think that we are gonna have to have more testing done.

Keep up the good work and keep us updated !

 

Boy you just want him to melt her down!!! Thats just not nice unless you atleast get to watch him do it.

 

ahh come on fellas, thats not like yall! your supposed to say get the video camera so we can watch it later

 

I agree with blackdiesel. I am only about an hour away from you so better yet me and my buddies will come and video tape it for you.
