Default meth mix with nitro?

I know the meth cools air charge temp and rases the octane level in the air.
What would happen if I put 33Pec nitor from a rc car in a GN's meth tank?
I know the nitor contains methyl alcohol, nitromethane, and oil stuff for 2 stroke. Would the nitromethane lower the flash pioint and cause detonation?
good idea or bad idea?
The brand of nitro is Traxxas Top Fuel 33 pec. I just have a gal collecting dust

Probably wouldn't be advisable. Not sure how long you've had it laying around but over time the Nitro diminishes and the fuel starts to thicken up a bit due to the oil content. You may have to worry about it clogging you meth nozzle. Traxxas fuel is garbage anyway and they use cheap oils in their mix (I used to build and manufacture nitro sprint cars and late models). Also, the nitro methane is an oxidizer and will probably ruin any of the metal fittings it comes in contact with if not all used up. If you already got the meth, you can always use a 50% meth & 50% water mix. That's the ratio I use for the Mustang and works just fine.
