Tri-Z from Hell... Sand Dragster

[MTS]

Im just gonna run 112 octane. Its was ran on alcohol before, but I dont want the hassle that comes with Alcohol. I might even look into Nitro since a lot of guys are running it now, and compare to see how it is to 112.

FYI nitro in a trike smells like crap....literall it really really stinks LOL, but man that thing is SWEET nothing elses can describe it

If your going to switch to nitromethane, then youve got all the headaches of alcohol plus the destruction caused by nitro. When running nitro you first need to start the bike on alcohol, then turn on the nitro after its running. Nitro is a nasty beast, I believe there was a thread here or at .org about top fuel racers, and you can see what were talking about. Granted those are four-strokers, but if every thing works perfectly, all you need to replace are the valves (half of which are melted), valve springs, probably a warped head, pistons, and all the bearings. Good luck. You will also need a fuel line that looks more like a garden hose than a gas line, and probably need an electric fuel pump to make sure that it wont go lean on you or kaboom. I'm not sure Id like to be sitting that close to the motor either when it spits the head off as if it didnt have any bolts in it at all. When I was racing, the NHRA required the use of kevlar bags covering the block, heads, blower, and clutch. That way when then engine decided to dissasemble itself the parts werent going into the stands killing people. Id stick to race gas. I'm not saying it cant be done, but I'm sure there would be quite a few destroyed parts before it got dialed in, and that motor is one of a kind.

Allright cool Dan Tenn, thanks for the info. You made a convincing argument, so Ill stick with the cheaper stuff. Good to have people who have knowledge like that on the forums!
