We used to be able to buy nitromethane at the local chemist's three decades ago. We used it for model airplane fuel, mixed with methanol and oil... You'd be surprised to see the horsepower one could get out of a 2.5cc motor with the right fuel. One did have to use a bit more fuel with such a mix. The way I understood it was that nitro provides oxygen, but is not a fuel in itself. By adding more nitro you still need more fuel.
Good stuff :-)
