Dynamite Blue Thunder HP8 & Sport nitro fuels

Available soon are Dynamite’s new Blue Thunder HP8 and Sport nitro fuels. Starting with the HP8 racing fuel, the juice was formulated by world-renown brand VP Racing Fuels and its 9 percent castor-enhanced blend will make for crisp throttle response without compromising internal component protection. The reduced oil content also allows the engine to achieve optimum operating temperature faster, allowing to fine-tune the engine with less warm-up time. The HP8 fuel is available in 20 percent and 30 percent nitro blends. Also new is the Sport fuel, developed by Ron Paris and formulated by VP Racing Fuels. A unique additive called ZX-7 provides over-lean indication protection, making it ideal for less-experienced users. On the track, if the engine is over-leaned, the driver will immediately notice that the car will hesitate during acceleration, indicating that it is time to pull in and richen the mixture. If the engine continues to run at these overly lean settings it will quit before damage to internal engine components occurs. Like HP8 the Sport fuel is available as 20 percent and 30 percent nitro blend.
