There is not a single thing you run that I'll benefit from Nitromethane.... or anyone on this forum for that matter

the year design is sound. They needed to swap the ports. Make the primary port flow like a 2v 165sh cfm and the other port 110 cfm. Each port with at least 6" of runner then make them common.

Oh well. You gotta use what you have. Many have done it. Few to it's potential. Talk to John.

Nitro is also a monopropellent so you could build a campfire on the moon with it!

1.7:1 actually. When used with E85, the better a/f benefits. Run it at a lower percentage and the copperhead will adjust. I have datalogged it.

Nitro methane carries it's own oxygen, but the benefit is the nitration bonding and explosive expansion. Nitro propane have an oxidation benefit, but to a lesser extent nitrogen bonding. Nitro propane is too complex. I have used both for some time.

all I can do is lol at that immense knowledge.

10 percent power boost. I don't run it with gasoline. I am currently out of nitromethane. I burned it all in this coyote.

I have a datalog is can send you if you like with 4 percent nitro.
