Nitromethane is about $35-$50 a gallon depending on the percentage (85% - 100%). Check out klotz fuels website, they have some good info. Gas versus methanol, plan on about 2.8 time more for a good mixture. Pure nitro is in the area of 7 times the amount of what gas would be! Nitromethane can make great HP but your messing with volatile stuff! Too much and your bending rods and lifting heads, not enough and it will torch everything! Your already running methanol so adding some nitro will be easy, just go puking rich on your jetting, an EGT guage will be your best friend when tuning. Some of the other guys that use an EGT guage can probably give you an idea as to how hot is TOO hot.
