Problem 1 = Melted Cat
Problem 2 = Torch O2 Sensors
Problem 3 = HOT LONG Burn = Melt engine parts.

But that doesn't mean to go out and pour nitromethane in your car and see how it runs, if you do your engine will surely blow up. Nitromethane is very expensive and dangerous to handle. The interesting alternative to gasoline is Methanol. Methanol will make more power, typically around 20% more power than a similar engine running gasoline. Some things to consider in running methanol is your fuel system will have to be completely changed / upgraded. Based on the table above the fuel system will have to flow approximately 2.5 times as much as the gasoline engine.

Damn! You put $40 worth of fuel in that thing!?!?!? Atleast thats how much that **** costs here (more for different brands too). That sounds funny, i have wondered what would happen if someone did that hahaha.
