In a built 2180cc stroker bug. He only did it once and the motor is apart now due to other problems, Honestly I wouldnt do it. Why not find a place that sells higher octane at a pump?

David Freiberger did it in either Hot Rod or Car Craft. Just a dyno test, small cheevy if i recall. Think it damaged the engine. This space available for rent

They make that stuff you add into your fuel to make the exhaust smell like flowers or cherries or whatever I think they make on for the ricers that smells like old chilli and bear farts so their fart can mufflers work better why can't they make one that smells like race fuel

It's the same price as race fuel though...

How "strong" is your engine / what general condition is it in? High-Static-Compression and Nitromethane, in an engine not modified to handle it, might not be a good combination. Have you looked into Nitromethane on the internet? Here is some information and if you scroll-down a bit, you'll see the section on Nitromethane as a motor-fuel. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitromethane
