Which Nitro should I get?
Its about time for me to get my 2nd gallon of nitro. I'm sticking with Byrons Race Gen 2 20%, but the last time I was at the hobby shop I noticed that He had 20% with 12% lubrication and 20% with 16% lubrication. I'm currently using 12% but am wondering if I should switch to 16%. Is there going to be a big difference? Price difference is minimal.

Ok, I kinda figured. After I wrote it I realized that my 8ight runs awesome anyway so I don't want to change anything.

Byrons Gen 2 is some of the best fuel you can get. Stick with it. It's good stuff. As proanti1 said, 16% is way too much oil, and it will actually cause your engine to run hotter since your engine will have 4% more oil and 4% less methanol.

Sigma, I have run my Ten T on 20% Nitrotane for the last gallon and a half and it runs great on that fuel. Stays cool and has plenty of power!!
