Thanks Larry, as always for great set of informative links.

One suit mentioned that Nitromethane contains 49.5% of oxygen by weight and be released during commbustion.

It is similar to injecting Nitrous oxide but less complicated due to plumbing. Since most turbo car runs rich historically from factory or aftermarket tuners, adding a small amount into the water injection will help using up those excess fuel for power, otherwise being wasted out of the exhaust pipe.

The density is slightly higher than water so by mixing it 4:1, there will quite effective as an oxygen suppliment.

8Kg/m of air will probably support a 200HP engine and it contains about 2kg of oxygen. If we can suppliment 100g of nitromethane in water, you should in theory get a 5HP increase.

Am I close?
