Yes but increase in nitro equals increase in temp. Nitromethane creates oxygen when it burns which effectively turns your engine into a supercharger but the more air/oxygen, the leaner the engine becomes and the more heat is created. Stick with 20% unless your racing.

Stick with 20% it will produce a little less power then the 30% but it will cause less engine wear if all your doing is running around for fun. If you are going to be racing it a lot then you want the 30% as it will be faster for the track.
