What is the best fuel?? I used to run Trinity monster Horsepower 25%. It was great, but I can't find it anywhere anymore! Looking for a new brand....
 
i'm not sure anyone will give you a "best fuel" but there are some really great fuels depending on your rig, and needs. i use Torrco and VP and have have no complaints about either. byron's 20%, sidewinder 20%, (and while i don't like it) top fuel 20% are all good options ! ask 20 nitro guys about fuels, you will get 20 different reason's why they like their brand. racers like one brand, bashers like another. i have been running VP 20% for the last two years and love it!

easy to tune with VP, great horsepower, and lubrication ! (imo)

I used to run trinity, but now I run byrons. I ran dynamite fuel, it was fine. I tried odonnells and it was too oily and gummed up my OWB's.

I bought byrons because it was cheaper at my LHS and have been using it for 5+ years.
 
Thanks for all the reply's everyone! keep em coming:D... If I run 30% would I need to add a head shim?
 
I like Odonnell's 30% myself. I've heard that most of the other brands being mentioned here are also good. Sidewinder in my experience ran good but for me it didnt last nearly as long as my Odonnells sitting on a shelf. Could have been a fluke IDK. The Odonnells was only 3 or 4 dollars more per gallon so I just went back to using it. I ran Byrons before and it was good too.
 
Byrons Gen2 30%.I go through 2 cases every year.Love it.

They say you should shim the head.I have two Picco.26RD.I shimmed the one,did'nt shim the other one and never had a problem.

And,yes I get it through the mail,I don't know who started the rumor that it is illegal? I pay $130 a case delivered.
