i looked over thare, but didn't see any thing that looked like NITRO JUICE for gas,

can we make some?, Sure we can

I don't think nitro is legal under any race sanctioning body. Why are you looking for it?

They are in Kenedale Texas. Since gas requires about 15 parts of air to burn, nitro burns alot slower, and will only require 1.9 parts of air to combust. Fact is, it burns so slow that quite often it not all has burned when the exhaust valve opens. It is still on fire when it pushes out the pipe, and, thats why the exhaust shows fire on a fueler. If you are not careful with fuel, your engine can develope hydrocity, by not burning enough fuel when it hits the chamber. Since fuel is liquid, the liquid, unburned can cause heads to blow apart, and rods to bend. There is a starter chart below for jetting

I tried running nitro at one time in a 250cc Konig. It was a premix with methanol and castor oil and 25% nitro. I went bigger with the jets and changed the timing and maybe cc's on the heads. I will say all three times I tried it I was in first place when I blew up. I ended up using what I had left in my lawnmower. I think that that little Brigs and Straton could mow down a hay field if I wanted and it smelled good too (makes your eyes burn though).

Freddy,

Gasoline burns at about 21,000 BTUs per gal, menthanol about 12,000. This is based on 50 year old info and 50+ yo memory. So anyway, you can get a lot more kapush out of alcohol at the same temperature. Of course it take more. (Gasoline is a pretty good fuel - particularly that I used to buy in Kingsburg)

Aren't you sorry you brought it up?

Fast Fred isn't Fast Freddy Hauenstein.....

We always called my brother JUNIOR...when he'd screwed up...

This Fast Fred ain't never been to Kingsburg...

Why not tell the wstory about the time you were inspecing the STOCKS at Bakersfield, because the Old Man was at like McKeesport, PA for the alky Nationals.... "That hot sun sure melts plastic"...

There is one other thing that you might want to try, which fuel engines have used for years. Dual distributors, one is timed first, the second one fires a milisecond later to help blow the fuel before the exhaust opens. With a 2 stroker, you got yer basic open holes when the piston drops, so, I'm thinking this system would allow you to blast more pop without the issue of hydrocity.
