Do you guys think that someone will ever come up with a nitro carburetor?

I believe they did in the 1950s; Stromberg two barrels and a big drill bit for jetting
Oh, lets not forget the first fuel pump that could keep up; a pirated aircraft hand pump of some sort Garlits mounted so he could work it on the run!
I believe the top speed went from 150 mph to 80 mph with the addition of that pump

The only problem with a nitro carb might be if it backfires it makes a mushroom cloud and blows engine shrapnel (including you)200 yards

Try it Now!!!

Nitro reacts a bit like C4 explosive. You can burn a little bit and heat your beans and weenies; but Lord help you if you put a lot of pressure on it. The burn rate goes to 300,000 ft/ sec
On the use of the hand pump, I am sure it was a cobble together test to see what would happen. Once the results came in, time for a big electric pump
