There is no difference btwn the full tank and the 1/4 tank. Cuz with the price of fuel now the weight that comes out of your wallet will be cancelled out by the weight of the gas

Re: question about speed full tank vs 1/4 gas?
The thread hyjack is ok. My motors have been built new cranks new pistons the whole shebang so I am not to worried about the issue of running the pro chargers.I am running 75-76 on a gps so maybe I should not try for more speed it does seem to get a little loose at that speed. I was hopping for 80 but I am pretty satisfied with my results for now. My drives have also been built by Imco I am running large k-planes and drive showers.

Well then if you modified the motor, you can't look at the stock RPM recomendation!! Spin that B!itch to 5200 and you're more than likely gonna be over the 80 mark.
Might want to look into Hydrolic Steering !!

Hey.... if you plan on running that thing over 80mph.... have you considered planned giving?
You could put our children's hospital in your will.... and we would only collect if you hook an edge at 80mph and bite it. You wouldn't need your money any more... and you will be helping out a great cause. Imagine having someone mention at your funeral that you had helped out a the sick and injured kids.
Just something to think about.
Sounds like a win-win to me.
