I will now sit back and watch as you trip the can into your tank . Good luck . Hope you have deep pockets and lots of spare motors .

Neighbor of my mom's up in the retirement community saw me drive up one day with the C4S. Comes over to start talking cars and telling me about the "good old days".......his shop in So Cal was one of the first to work with nitro. It's been a few years, so I don't remember the details. What I DO remember is him saying he was luckier to survive those years than the war.

whatever the outcome, make sure you you-tube it....

I used to run water injection, and have a five litre tank behind each seat, one with water, one with ethanol.....
