Meth is benchmark

you log your AFR? Possible too much timing for leaner/faster burn?

I had to take a quite of bit of timing, because of the nitro no log of the AFR's

the logs are 4 days apart not back to back but at the same time of night I confused it feels faster and pulls harder to redline. to be honest with you it wasnt on the same road, the log for the nitro was done on this ****ty road that was uneven. here is a new log, the only thing I changes was added the colder plugs. to let you konw how senstive this stuff is I tried to add 1 degree of timing in the mid range boom 1-4 counts of knock retard 1 degree back boom 0. so lets hope for improvement. alright dudical lets see it made an improvement over the meth, thanks again man

this is what I got after the new log, however with the old nitro log i did see a power loss as well, probably due to the uneven surface of the pull

meth is the benchmark

i will add this i know the car is over 400 (dll numbers) because dll wont let me adjust the tire size. example it said I had 389 with the 235's so i installed o2, fmic, added 8-10 degrees more timing, and the 255's. The new #'s were 370. more mods, better tune, wider tires "power loss" LOL.

Here is a new graph using your new logs, again the benchmark is meth

In order to be accurate it really needs to be on the same EXACT road.

so far this looks promising.

IF you get a chance to do back to back logs of just meth and the nitro again, I think that would give us definitive answers.

I am a bit confused with the caption below/above the dyno chart, are you loosing or gaining power?

I look forward reading the next chart.

If you dont make more power using nitro you are doing something wrong. A friend just dynoed his pickup truck for kicks. After he got a baseline he dumped a few ounces of rc car fuel in the tank. the amount of nitro in the overall mix was minuscule. picked up 12whp on next pull.

you really should log on the same road for consistent comparison results
