Yeah, you're not going to find the power you're looking for in the fuel mix in this case. Methanol can make more power, but only if the compression is increased a good bit to really take advantage of the methanol's octane rating. Nitro can add power, but not in the small amounts we are using either. It's more for throttle response, etc., in these amounts. My "Gas/glow" motors only turn a couple of hundered r's faster than with straight gasoline.

Four strokes are tough to hop up for now; until they become more popular and someone starts making high compression pistons, hot cams, etc. for them. Check into some boat forums. They are pretty progressive on hopping motors up, and I've seen some posts concerning some hop ups for this motor, but I can't remember where at the moment. Do a search here in RCU for leads...

The smog laws will probably eventually kill the two strokes sad to say, and then the four thumpers will be more developed. Until then, it's kind of like they said... sound and novelty.
