Nitromethane works well.
i ain't no chemists so I'll explain simply.. gasoline needs allmost 15 lbs. of air to burn 1 lb. of gas .. a nitromethane engine will need less than 2 lbs. of air to burn 1 lb. of methane , so you can put a little more than 7 times more fuel into the cylinder -- more fuel in cylinder =s more power..

How do top fuel dragsters work?
Very basically they have internal combustion engines just like a family car. The fun of course is in the differences! The road car needs to go steadily and use as little fuel as possible. The top car's aim is to burn fuel as fast as possible to deliver that short but intense burst of speed. One of the main ways it does this is to burn a very different fuel, nitromethane mixed with a little methanol.
How do tosters work?
they just work they just work,work,work

Is nitromethane a compound?
yes
Can sodium polyacrylate be used to gel nitromethane?
Sorry. Sodium polyacrylate doesn't seem to work. Certainly not the way it does with water.
Can you run Nitrous Oxide with Nitromethane?
Yes you can.
What fuel do top dragsters use?
Any car or motorcycle that is a true "TOP FUEL" vehicle, uses a mixture of methanol (alcohol) and nitromethane. The current NHRA rules allow for a mixture of 90% nitromethane to 10% alcohol.
What does a nitro gas car run on?
Nitro Methane http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitromethane
What is liquid nitro made of?
The main ingredient is Methane gas. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitromethane
What is the chemical formula for nitromethane?
Nitromethane, CH3NO2, is an organic compound that is more flammable than gasoline. And, though it is widely used in industry, it is also used as an additive in racing fuels to increase the volatility of the combusted materials. Wikipedia has more information, and a link is provided.
Where could one put nitro fuel?
Nitro fuel is a methanol-based fuel with nitromethane and oil added. The amount of nitromethane in the fuel is about 20% in its typical nature but could be anywhere in the 10% to 40% range or higher. Nitro RC cars and nitro airplanes can use nitro fuel.
What is the one name of a smaller part of an atom?
Sub atomic particles, protons nitromethane and electrons and eachparticle is made of 6 quarks
Which is the central atom in CH3NO2?
C (carbon) The nitro group (NO2) is a substitution for one of the hydrogen atoms in methane, creating nitromethane (CH3NO2).
What is that toy car called where you mix different fuels together to try and get it to go the fastest?
nitro car- methanol, nitromethane, castor oil and kerosene
What is nitro meth in cars how does they work in cars this was better than nos in car or not?
A "nitro-burning" engine and a "top fuel" engine are the same thing -- engines designed to burn nitromethane rather than gasoline. Gasoline is a hydrocarbon, Nitromethane is a little like gasoline that has been pre-mixed with nitrous oxide. The fuel comes with its own oxygen atoms to help it burn. it is extremely flamible and is usually used as a regular fuel not like nitrous where it is an additive. stick with '' N2o''(chemical equation for nitrous oxide) if you dont know about nitrometh.
