16% Nitro

[SchrodeMode]

Anyone ever run it? My LHS' distributer shipped a few gallons by mistake and are replacing it for him, they don't want to pay for shipping and told him they don't care what he does with it.....so in comes his test guy, he gave me a gallon and told me to give it a shot. I've run 20% and switched to 30% so if I'm going from 30% to 16% i should have to richen it, correct?
This will be run in a 2.5r and 3.3 by the way, I still bought the 30% for my LST and if I don't like the 16%.

If you are going from a higher nitro mixture to a lower mixture as to 30-to-16 you definitely need to richen it up! That is a huge jump with the nitro fuel which i dont recommend. maybe if you were talking about 20-to-16, ok (still dont like the idea) just make sure you richen the needles a little before turning on the engine.

Wait, no ofeense to anyone, maybe I'm justa noob but, if you're going from 30% to 16% nitro, wouldnt you want to lean it in stead of riching it? Lower nitro content= lower temps= you can run leaner, and also lower percent nitro tends to be a little "rich". SO I would think lean it? IDK.
