So I saw this stuff on snowperformance's web site the other day Nitromethane

Im already running the snowperformance boost juice which is 50/50 water methanol, any details on the concentration of this stuff your supposed to mix with the boost juice

what are the effects and what type of tuning is needed?

I havent called snow yet to ask these questions wanted to know if anyone here has used the stuff or knows the properties of it

2K5SS/SC?

I have no idea of what the answer to your question is, but it sounds like it would work. That sure is some expensive stuff though. Please keep us posted if you call SnowPerformance though.

if it provides anywhere close to the 30-50hp it claims its worth it to me

thing is what kinda tuning and changes would really be needed being an oxidizer I would think you need to add more fuel but would the methanol being injected along with it already provide that?

2K5SS/SC?

Well, I do know that when my meth sprays I drop about .5 in the A/F ratio, so if the extra o2 released will pick it back up, then it should be badass!

Thats what I was thinking but mainly what i need to know is the concentration used, the affects on the AFR or any other things I should know about

Well I have some news on this, I talked to snow today and they said that the 8oz bottle is enough to treat a half gallon of the boost juice

the concentration should be roughly 1/8 or 12.5%

As far as tuning they said your AFR really shouldnt be off more than 5% as a result either way

Rodimus.... PM Area47 he did some experiments a while back with different ****, I think he used either alcohol, or nitro/methane I believe with his meth kit.....

As I recall it shot flames about 10 feet out the exhaust. Nitro is dangerous stuff, it creates incredibly high cylinder pressures, temperatures, and burns a lot slower then gas. If you use nitro in the mix do it sparingly. I know 06blackg85ss sprayed nitro in his car

CH3NO2 = good stuff .

well i have something like a 64oz tank or less so there will prob be maybe 2oz of the stuff in there at most ill run it a bit conservative

Nitromethane in a normal engine = BOOOOOOMMMMM

Nitro is like running nitrous all the time. Think about this, top alcohol dragster is the third fastest class in NHRA (behind top fuel, and funny car). There are two types of engines in this class. 500 ci blown alcohol engines, and 500 ci NATURALLY ASPIRATED nitromethane engines.... Both E/T and speed records are held by the nitro engines. Naturally aspirated nitro engines, make more power than supercharged alcohol engines. Hence why if you ran nitro in your supercharged "street" engine, that thing would flippin explode!

your a little off there there. first off, the max cubic inch for an alcohol dragster is 464ci, and an a/fuel drgster is 500ci, however most run a smaller motor, around 420ci. you also need to remember that an a/fuel car runs in exesse of 15:1 compression and 55+ degrees timing. we are also talking 90% nitro in these cars. just as a comparison, a top fuel dragster runs around 5:1 compression with a supercharger making around 25-30psi boost.

nitro isnt at all like nitrous. nitrous is an oxidizer, its only used for the oxygen content. running a motor on nitrous alone wouldnt work, its like trying to burn air. it needs a fuel source to burn. nitromethane is a fuel. yes it is rich in oxygen, but it will burn by itself, however only under compression. nitro will not burn if you stuck a match into an open container of it.

in oiur motors, running 90% nitro would be devestating, however we are talking about using what, 12.5% mix with boost juice or methanol. this would further be deluted with the gasoline making the rough mixture around, say 5-7% nitromethane. really for nitro to become very effective you need to run 40% or more of the total fuel mixture.

if you dont know what nitromethane is dont mess with it.


let me put it this way. topfuel funny cars and dragsters use nitromethane. it will destroy your engine.

slight amounts of it as in this case will not harm your car. use a wideband and keep an eye on knock and you will be just fine with this slight amount.

Its not a pure fuel, its a additive for the snow performance boost juice which is 50/50 water meth

Heres the description

Nitro Booster™ is a great power adder designed for use with gasoline engines using Boost Cooler™ water-methanol injection kits. A proprietary blend of nitro methane and a specially developed emulsifier that keeps Nitro Booster™ equally distributed in the water-methanol mixture. This allows for a small percentage of nitro methane to be injected into the engine in the correct proportion with air and fuel to produce impressive increases in power. Usually, around 30 to 50hp increase can be measured. Nitro methane has fewer BTUs than gasoline, but contains oxygen and acts like a chemical supercharger and an octane enhancer to safely increase power.

*NOTE* Nitro Booster CAN NOT be shipped outside of the United States.
