its not so much the cost but the grief,,, moving big barrels sucks unless your set up for it,,,,making sure to use it all so it doesnt spoil,, now ya have to ditch the empty barrell

smells great:beer:

as it goes for reliability I dont think it be much worse then pump gas unless you are pushing your boost pressure to the max so to speak

how much psi on pump you running?

How much do ya want to turn it up to?

do it lol!!!!

I don't run one, but seems like lots of guys are meeting in the middle and running straight Av gas. Smells just as good, costs much less than race fuel... But you get a little less performance. As far as I'm concerned the only people that really use the full power of race gas are the guys climbing chutes!

50 rides in this season on my B/D race gas kit and and it ran great after the initial few rides to figure things out. Not a problem at all. I ran pump a little when riding with my G/f and novices but other than that it was race. Once you turn the boost up you never want to turn it back down. Do it !!

Most of the guys around here run straight Av, or a mix of pump and av. You get less bottom end bog with a bit of pump gas. We just go to the local airport and fill up our gericans... Easy!

Hubby runs 11-12#'s on 50-50 mix. I run between 6-7#'s on pump and love the bottom end.
