    Put A Bit Of Nitro In The Tank It Will Pick Right Up. Remember When Warren Johnson Used To Get The Drain Oil From The Nitro Teams To Run In His Prostocker Years Ago, The Oil Was Loaded With Nitro ! And We All Know That Some Oil Gets Past The Rings Into The Cumbustion Chamber.

    Nitro will work, but it doesn't mix with most gasolines without a blending agent. Try mixing the nitro with your gas in a glass bottle and see if it stays put. Relying on sloshing around in the fuel tank to keep things mixed up is risky business at best when you are talking about something longer than a drag race.

    nitro propane will mix with gas. Checkered flag fuels in charlotte NC used to keep it a few years back.

    Nitropropane will mix for sure. It just depends on whether you want to make a substantial increase in power (nitromethane) or a small increase in power (nitropropane). We've tested nitromethane/gasoline blends on a proprietary basis with good results. We have not tested nitropropane/gas, though there are articles around from people that have dyno tested it.

    Try https://www.pricechemical.com and scroll down, you'll find some nitromethane/gasoline blends. We have never used this product as we've mixed our own blends and at a lot higher blend levels than they are suggesting. However, I don't see any reason why their product would not work.

    nitro and gas do not mix well, its an old myth. propolene/oxide will do the trick. try at 5-10% first. after that you will need to rejet alot to compensate for the extra oxygen. there are fuels already mixed if you dont want to play chemist. about a 3-6% mix.

    No myth. Nitromethane and gasoline can be made to mix perfectly, in almost any concentration and indefinitely (i.e > 6 months sitting on the shelf) if you know the trick. 100% increase in power is no problem. That's not to say that the Price Chemical people in the link know the trick, maybe they do, maybe they don't, but we do.
