I think it may work well as BOOST. If my GTO runs 12.0 on 89 Octane and is all low RPM "labor" , seems to me "Nitro" would have a dramatic HP increase.
As in addition to your carb system?

Nitro very susceptible to leaning out and blowing things up.
Would have to make sure it was at full throttle opening and not be too lean.
Takes a LOT of Nitro in comparison to gasoline.

If being used as the sole source for fuel and driving around, no it wouldn't work.
