30% nitro in wore out engine

[Metalhead Matt]

Will running 30% nitro in my wore out 2.5 make it run a little stronger and idle better? Just curious. Thanks as always.

sorry to say buudy but if it is wore out, then it is wore out. but if it still has some life in it then it will produce alittle more power than usual but will also bring it to the end of its life alot sooner. and a higher nitro is not a fix for better idling. mostly. but it is weird, you would be the first person i have seen interested in running 30% in the 2.5

I was just thinking that you want a little less compression when running the higher nitro content, so I've heard anyways. Figured I might be in the right situation to rip a quart of 30% through her while I wait for my 3.3.

Sure can't hurt! I'll post back in a few days with the outcome.

Cool, I have used engines at the end of their life to do all sorts of stupid tricks....because if you kill it....well the pain is not too bad right?
