The "Kabooms" have always been the problem when its been tried in the past...Chief is a pretty smart feller, but I knew of a few highly funded teams that had no luck with it...

That's 90% fuel... there is no reason one can't run 15% or so. That little bit will give u some noticable gain. That's not gonna smoke a turbo..

But, werent we talking about Chief using 40%???????? It sure sounded cool when he said it on a TV show...

Edit: Also, the guys that were trying it in the past, are smart enough to know how to TEST things...Its not like they threw 90% in the tank and turned it loose...
