Go Byron 25% or 30%. Also remember that once you go up in nitro %, your piston and sleeve change (expand larger slightly) so you can never go back down in nitro, or you'll lose compression.

just run it with the current settings first to see how it performs, then adjust based on temp and smoke

traxxas fuel is awesome. I ran a couple gallons in my old 2.5 and it really woke up that motor.

But not the 20% Top Fuel....just the 33%, right? I've heard lots of guys say the 20% has too much oil for good power output.
