The plugs would work, the programmable spark is perfect. The carbs need fuel proof rubber parts. It takes a significant amount of nitro to maintain a perfect mixture. The higher the nitro the more fuel you have to pass through the engine.
I have no clue on how much fuel one of the current gas carbs can pass on a piston ported engine. I would say get the rubber issue with the carb fixed, (easy). Then start running. If the ignition is programmable that can be used as a control to until the fuel is mapped out right.
Also if the thing goes lean it will eat parts too. David was talking about starting out with 10 percent nitro. That is a good idea then start raising the fuel as needed
Again,. for all I know there probably are a bunch of people out there ahead of me on this. A lot of smart people running gassers.
Come to think of it, reading between the lines here..... I bet Andy Brown has most of this stuff sorted out. :0 And David is right there or at least has been burning up his mind thinking of how to do it. . Something is cooking .....
Norm , start by entering a race and actually racing !!!!
