Status: offline 		Has anyone tried adding nitromethane to gasoline? Some of my smaller gassers could use a slight power boost, so I was wondering if nitro might do the trick. I'm thinking may be 5-10% by volume.

I have no idea if nitro is even soluble in gasoline, or if nitro combustion byproduct(s) might be detrimental to gasser internals.

Status: offline 		why not just use a valve with NOS (nitrous oxide) connected to it . Don't forget the AMA guidelines while you are at it......

Status: offline 		There is a small thread in the conversions forum about lightweight gassers. The subject of E85 gasoline with 5% nitro and a glow plug instead of ignition is being talked about. Just a thought.
