Can quickly run out of timing with nitro
Can take a bunch of advance to really get much out of it.
Distributor caps have a provision for just so much advance before the air
gap gets too large.
Doesn't nitro settle out of gas?.
Think you just about have to use alky, dunno for sure.
And its how much a gallon now?.

Just my 2 cents
I am currently in the process of building a 377ci. SBC designed for
bracket drag racing, and I am very interested in using a 93 oct. pump gas/15%
nitromethane mix ratio for fuel. I know that one of the benefits of using
nitro with gasoline is increased octane characteristics, including adding an
oxygenate to the fuel, but I'm rather ignorant of the many other pro's and
con's of using it. Engine management will be provided by a '7730 ecm and
related harness. I wonder if the Bosch injectors will be compatible with such
a fuel, in terms of sizing and magnetic winding tolerance to the fuel. I
understand that due to the oxygen content of nitro,
(49.6% by weight) that more fuel will have to be administered/ms of pulse
width than with conventional gasoline.
Does anyone have any contributable thoughts on this idea that may steer
me in the right direction, or maybe know of some publication that explains the
use of nitro as an auto fuel? Thanks in advance and looking forward to your
comments.
