Nitro itself burns slowly, but it raises the heat of combustion, and therefore requires less compression to avoid detonation or preignition.
Hmm.. it makes sense too. Higher engine temperature, so less compresson require to ignite the thing.
I feel so ignorant (I guess like many of us

) as what we are doing here is absolutely unique. Racing car guys use methanol, gas and nitro, buy they don't deal with the glow plug - they use spark ignition. RC guys deal with methanol and nitro on glow, but nobody is adding a gasoline to that thing. And RC engines area a little different talking about compression. On the top of that every weed whacker/blower/chainsaw motor is different and never intended to run on glow fuel.
So I guess my only option is to ask questions, share with results, and experiment till the head blows off
