Thanks for the more detailed info.

If I'm just a back yard banger, I don't need to run a higher % nitro? I just play around with a few friends and would be more satisfied with getting more use out of my motor than power. 20% would be the better choice for me??
 
I'm running the same engine 30% with factory shim. No racing just bashing...creaping up on a gallon through the mill and it just keeps getting better. Tons of power from a dead stop all the way to top end and it'll sit and idle forever.

I'd run it but that's up to you.
 
All you have to do is keep it tuned properly, there's nothing to lose by running 30%. I mix 20% and 30% to create 25% and run it in all my engines big and small.
 
Also be sure to check the specs on fuel and engine for lube %...I believe Picco recommends 9 or 10%. I run Byron originals Gen 2 race 3000...30% nitro and 11% lube, the prodriver 30% from them isn't high enough lube content.
 
I've ran a few tanks through my Red Dot so far and I frickin love it. I want to build my Revo into a solid truck, so I have a lot of upgrades to find n buy. Thing is already burning a hole in my pocket again and I've only bought the motor so far
