Does anyone have a good analogy of the relationship between nitro and speed?

What happens on opposite ends of the nitro curve? Too much nitro? Not enough?

What about compression? How does this fit into the mix? How do you know when you need more nitro or less, and which temperature glow plug to use? (ie., what signs should we be looking for to find the proper mix to have a nice strong, high rpm turning motor.)

Motors seem to run fine on 10-15% but not on 50-60%! Why?

What's the plug temp got to do with any of this? Relation?


All serious questions here. I'm trying to get a very clear idea of how this complicated mix of ingredients all work together efficiently.
