With the timing properly set and no nitromethane-straight methanol/oil fuel you will indeed see a good 20% increase in power. You can maintain that power level for the entire flight without taking cool down breaks. Your idle and transition will be excellent.
You will burn methanol at close to twice the rate of gasoline.
I have thought about it because I can buy 4.55l English gallon of pure methanol for around £12.00 in contrast to this 5% nitro(1 gallon) cost me £25.99. You can buy caster oil in 1l bottles, so you can mix and match the various additives?, like caster and methanol and add 500ml of 25% nitro fuel. etc.?
