Edit: The first two links didnt work.

Just some interesting stuff, not real impressive though. The below link is about Nitropropane.

You bet. As you can see the learning curve can be expensive.

So, boom is the answer to your question.

Yea, I couldn't get them to work.

There you go. There is another source of infomation I found, Ray Hall the famous turbo guy. Use Google and Search nitromethane.

You could always use a seperate fuel system with an alcohol compatable pump and spray a mixture of methanol and nitro off of a solenoid at WOT. The methanol would likely help alleviate the detonation. Certain comercially available mixtures already have lubricatants and other additives that may increase your chances of success. That's what I was interested in trying. Just to cheap to buy the pump. Plus with the inherent danger, I'd seriously compromise my ability to drive to work (daily driver). I've given up on nitro in favor of more traditional power adders.

Yea, I think I'll just leave this idea in the dust. Not enough information for EFI engins out there. I dont have the doe to fix a shattered piston and cracked cylinder walls Oh well, maybe I'll consider nitrous or better heads/cam package, or like OldStroker suggested, stroke it.

Thanks all
Kevin

Bringing this thread back to life.....I ran across this over on TB.com:

http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/sho...hreadid=118269

Just with a 6% mixture that engine gained over 50rwhp.... makes you wonder.
