I'm not familiar with "Nitro Booster". Do you mean "Boost Cooler"? Do you have a link?

It is actually a Nitromethane blend. Be careful with that stuff. I am not sure on the chemical burn properties but I would assume an adjustment to your AFR may be needed. This stuff is NOT "boost juice" (the 49/51% meth water blend).

Anyone wish to chime in on how Nitromethane works in top fuel race cars?

some feedback would be nice! .... reads like it would account for it's own fuel/o2 so no need to retune when you are running it.

Too much of the stuff and you'll be running lean.

If nitromethane provided 100% of the oxygen that it required, then top fuel cars wouldn't have blowers, or for that matter intake valves even. I don't know what it would do to your AFR, but based on the statement in my previous sentence (it must be true if it is in writing), I would guess that it would make your engine richer.

We're talking about the Snow Performance Boost Cooler product.

I definitely would not use nitromethane on a stock motor,it will push cast pistons over the edge.Nitromethane is readily available at hobby shops as model airplane fuel and will make really big power gains.It is highly corrosive to fuel systems and hard to tune properly.I personally have killed a motor running the stuff.Nitrous oxide in a kit is much safer and delivers similar power gains.

Yikes, this stuff sounds dangerous. I don't think it's pure Nitromethane though. If they sell it to the public, designed to be used in thier systems, then it can't be that bad. Right? I'll try it if you try it....you first.

The best idea is to call Snow Performance to get the real low down. I did. I'll let you go first. lol
