I keep on hearing different info on how much psi a 2x mix and a 3x mix creates. Lucky13 produced 210psi with a 3x mix, and someone else said it produces 250, and i was wondering does it vary for each cannon or is their always the same outcome of pressure, give or take a few psi.

Well it obviously matters what kind of gun, the smaller the pipe the more compact the combustion, in theory would equal more pressure...

Don't use a 3x mix with 200 psi clear 2" Sch 80 pipe

I wish people would stop needing a better signature!

ya, I'm not going to use it as a hybrid, just use it at a regular 1x mix.

Frogy, if the pipe is smaller, there would be less fuel in there to equal the same ratio, so the size of the combustion compared to the size of the gun would be exactly the same as a big gun. I hope you can understand that.

whoever said a 3x mix made 250 psi pulled that out of their ass
in the upcoming presidential election, there will be several candidates who will be running, one of whom is Hillary Clinton. Now WAIT A SECOND!!! I though there was some sort of rule that prevented someone from serving more than two terms in office. Vote Against Hillary: Presidential Elections 08
