JaxDad this is what YOU said:
Look at the energy chart I provided. See where methanol has almost half the energy of gasoline? Are you saying the chart is wrong? Are you really trying to argue that alky makes less power than gasoline? Or worse yet. That nitromethane makes less power than gasoline because it has less energy then gasoline? If not, what are you trying to say when you say I can't make more power with less energy? Because that is EXACTLY what the chart above shows.
I have already stated that you will use almost twice the methanol as gasoline and three to four times the amount of nitro as gasoline.

You cannot reduce the amount of energy and ‘add power’ at the same time, it’s scientifically impossible. Ethanol has only about 2/3 the energy by volume, BTU’s, that gasoline does.
