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. ERic |
