I think switching tires would have been a good way to show the difference between stock tires and a good pair of street tires. On any used car I buy, the first thing I do is upgrade the suspension and tires. Keep up the great work!
Ouch...a Bing search shows that NHRA teams pay $1800 US for a 40gal/150+liter drum of nitromethane or $45 a gallon/$11.90 a liter! It has to be a sleeper because nobody can afford to upgrade anything.
I was at the NHRA national championship in 2022. They said there was someone in Canada who was willing to ship it to the dragstrip because there was none to be found in the states.
this reminds me of cleetus mcfarland putting nitro in a stock LS engine with little to no mods to it. i think he only put a hell cat fuel pump to make sure the fuel flow is enough but he ended up 110%ing the fuel injectors
