Found this on the web. Anyone have any information on it? Power Fuel Nitromethane
I was just curious if it is another "snake oil"

Try Fuel Power (Odis Beaver) if you want some "Super Street" performance.
I prefer MMT for octane enhancement if that's what I need. I don't own any vehicles
that need octane ratings over 89.
For racing, I would use NOx injection, it's more controllable.

Fuel Power (FP) or MMT?
For FP, send a Personal Message (PM) to Terry Dyson for Odis' address.
MMT is Methyl Manganese Tricarbonyl used in most OTC octane boosters. I prefer Pennzoils variety which come in a package of 4 little metal cans, probably because they look like 0.50 cal BMG cartridges.

I did a search on the net and it didn't come up with anything. Where can I purchase it at? Thanks
Straight up toluene is one of the most effective and economical octane boosters you can buy. It's normally in gas anyway; long discussions with various fuel engineers who work for some of the big 3 confirm that it's ok to run as much as 20-30% toluene for short periods. IIRC, the 'octane' rating is about 110, so you can calculate your resulting octane (at a particular proportion) by mixture law:
20%: 8 gallons of 92 = 736 'points'
2 gallons of 110 = 220 'points'
Total is 956 points, or 95.6 octane.
A good friend of mine runs a similar mixture in his 944 Turbo track car; says that the increased resistance to detonation allows him to run more timing for better midrange and top end and you gotta like that!

Being a strong solvent, I would not use toluene for a daily driver, since it may cause reliability problems with fuel pumps and fuel dump valves at the TBI or FI.
Note: The following is for educational purposes only:
For my racing associates, I recommend a mix of 4 oz. of toluene, 2 oz. of Fuel Power, 1 oz. of Neutra, and one bottle of the Pennzoil Octane booster (with MMT) per 10 gallons of 90+ octane fuel. This puts the fuel in 110+ octane range. I really prefer the base fuel to be a 10% ethanol blend.
PS - I hope you have torqed the head bolts correctly and have used high quality head gaskets when running this mix.
