Default How much extra HP from burning nitro?

So I was wondering, from a post here about a bone stock engine running
nitro methane instead of gasoline, how much extra horsepower could a
stock engine produce just by changing fuels from gas to nitro? I'm
thinking that the engine won't run very well. Now, I'm sure that if
the compression was changed, and the carb re-jetted, and the cam
changed, things might work better. But if all you do is change fuels I
think there won't be much of an increase. This is of course in
response to gunner's assertion that he was clocked going 264 mph on a
bone stock Ninja motorcycle burning nitro methane fuel. I don't think
the motorcycle could develop enough power to push itself and someone
sitting on it to over 200 mph no matter what kind of fuel it was
burning.

I think the issue with a motorcycle reaching those speeds is not so much
horsepower as stream lining. *After all, if there was no resistance of any
kind, you could reach 264 mph with a 1 horsepower engine. The only
motorcycles that have reached speeds close to that I know about have had
fully enclosed shells. It was clear from Gunner's original description that
was not the case. I am not sure why there is so much debate about this.
Gunner is a text-book classic sociopath. He will say whatever he thinks he
can get away with to gain status among his percieved peers. When questioned,
he resorts to threats.

What I love is when Gunner claims you are now in his kill file when he
can't handle being confronted with the truth. An example would be
Gunner having no inspection area in his **** hole shop. He posted a
picture of his inspection tool cabinet. His inspection tools were
covered with dirt and sand from the dirt floor in his shop.

What's much more interesting than Gunner's many, many lies is the fact
that the more Gunner lies, the more his cult of idiots worship him.
