You mean nitromethane?
Yea, if you can get a Honda block to hold the tremendous combustion that will occur... Who's down for building a billet B series?

Re: propane injection help (-=TWITCH=-)
ahhh **** it well get 4 extra 1600cc injectors run a big as t-76 and run alcohol then top it off with nitromethane just to see what it would do would be an experience.

pure meth, in addition to gas, is not a problem. Just add some lubricant to each tank of meth and you'll be fine. I believe the name is upklotz or something like that.
Supra guys have been running pure meth injection (vs. a meth based fuel system) for a while without problems. It is corrosive when it sits, but when it is injected it travels at approximately 60-100mph (only comes on during boost) and will cause neglible problems with aluminum.
The only problem with meth injection is getting a good mixture into each cylinder. A great IM like the Endyn/AIR will cure this. You should be careful, but still be alright with other IMs. Just do some be careful of knocking when tuning.

from what these guys said http://www.propaneinjectionsystems.com/ it seems to work pretty well for gasoline engines and not just diesels.

another issue with propane injection is that once you reach a certain lambda value (overly rich) some of the fuel is not going to burn. since both gasoline and propane are fuels, and since the propane is injected in gaseous form, it will more readily mix with the air and will be more likely to burn than the gasoline. so unless you tune it properly, you could very well have residual gasoline dumping into the exhaust manifold at high boost.

Correct but this is easy to fix. you will notice this because the car will bog like its to rich just adjust propane to fix this.
