The thing is that nobody did a test with only 1 variable, and it's difficult. What I'm wondering about is that if you inject methanol & water, aren't you in fact enriching the mix beyond what is combustable?

I think that methanol and water really just cool the Air and the combustion, but nitromethane brings oxygen so it too can be blown up.

The 75hp or so that the guy was talking was probably achieved with just an increase in ignition advance and maybe a higher possible max boost. I really don't see how a 100ml/min injection of nitromethane can provide much in terms of HP. However... if you were to add nitrous oxide....
