"some tips, remember to feed it SLOWLY this stuff can hydrolock your engine if your not careful" why risk it if everything is running fine?

A cj7 with a bigger rubber bumper. Its the only thing small enough and powerful enough to fit on the track. Thing is amazing college bough it new back in 80-86 thing seriously only has 1xxx miles.
Hard miles though. Pretty bad ***.
