Default RE: Difference between Gas and Glow engines performance wise

I'm glad this topic came up. I am considering moving up to large scale and gas, but would prefer not to use gasoline for two reasons. One I live in a small apartment and storing gasoline may not be an option if the manager knew. [X(]

Back in the 60s & 70s I raced mini bikes and mini cycles in Southern California and it was common practice to convert our bikes to Methanol and maybe a tad of nitro. The basic rule of thumb was to triple the jet size and cut the oil in half for two strokes.

I would be very interested to hear from those who have done this with the current RC engines.
