Out of all the power-adders at a racer’s disposal, nitrous oxide causes the most violent chains of events to happen inside an engine. Renegade Race Fuels‘ line of nitrous racing fuels are designed to help make a nitrous-assisted engine not only produce more power but have fewer instances of the dreaded nitrous backfire.
The development of the Pro 120 nitrous and Pro Nitrous Extreme fuels came from a need Renegade saw in the racing community for a special blend of fuel aimed at nitrous applications that’s different from regular racing fuels. Since nitrous increases cylinder pressure when burned, it can create challenges for standard racing fuels in the burn process. Increasing the octane will help with the cylinder pressure, but using a more targeted chemical blend for the fuel will help more.
According to Ron Finney from Renegade, they have addressed the chemical need with their nitrous fuels. “At Renegade, we have a proprietary additive package that helps reduce the nitrous explosions that we too often see at the track. By creating a more stable product we not only resist detonation but also the tendency to explode back through the intake due to the heat generated in these applications.”
Racers using nitrous will see a benefit with this fuel as it provides extra protection from the wear that comes from a power-adder and makes their tuning window more consistent. Sometimes racers will see their fuel as being lean due to the complete combustion, but that is not the case. Renegade’s race fuels with their tight fuel curves many times will allow a racer the ability to richen up their combination a touch to protect during nitrous use while still experiencing a more complete burn.
Renegade’s Pro Nitrous Extreme fuel is designed for racers that are spraying 350 to over 1800 horsepower worth of nitrous on a single or multi-stage kit. The Pro 120 nitrous fuel is great for racers who are using 100 to 1200 horsepower worth of nitrous at the track in engines requiring a high octane fuel.
