Default anyone use this fuel??

hello everyone

i have been running nitro cars for 1 and a half years and now i have encountered a problem, i have been using byrons 20% fuel and i havent tried any other brand of fuel. the problem that i have is that my lhs seriously sucks and they havent received byrons fuel for almost 5 months and they are still not going to receive fuel. well im travelling in 2 weeks and i know a store in which i can buy wildcat eleminator fuel, my question is if this fuel is good and if it is, is it better than byrons???

this is the fuel that i could get:

I've ran only a quart of Wildcat Eliminator 20% through my XTM .28. It was all that the LHS had in stock, so you take what you get at that point. My engine ran well, held its temperature good and I didn't see any negative things to address about Wildcat. I currently run Byron's and from seeing both fuels in my engine running, I would have to say that Byron's did better by a rather small margin IMO. I'm not saying that Wildcat is bad, but Byron's did better in my engine. It all depends on how your engine runs best with a given fuel, whatever fuel has your engine releasing max power is the fuel you want to stick with. What engine are you running?

It should not give you any problems but you will probably have to retune the engine for the new fuel. The difference in ingreadents and proportions will require that you retune but they should run fine. You may notice more owb slippage if the new fuel has more oil than the old but that's probably all.

I just bought some wild cat and my .18 ran great but the smell of the fuel stinks when the car is running..
