Correct, and the German's experimented with Oxygen injection heavily trying to gain altitude from their piston engines during the war. They found it to be too volatile and cause alot of detonation resulting in busted pistons and ring lands.
What they did find was another gas, N2O, as an oxidizer is stable at room temperature and under pressure, in the presence of a heated catalyst, N2O will decompose exothermically into nitrogen and oxygen.
The nitrogen gives a buffer to keep the detonation of the oxygen under control somewhat.
Again, these thing's have all been figured out about 70 year's ago, so... How're those square wheels working out?

But us few old men from the dinosaur age shouldn't let knowledge, experience, and reality stand in the way of innovation!

i just found this vehicle on the net and it has me dreaming again..
except mine would be mid-rear engine.
That particular model is called the Holden Commodore SSV UTE

Since my kart is lengthened like it is right now (with welding machine on the way) i figured i could turn it into a car/truck similar to an el camino but looks more new-age.
I youtubed a video of kangaroos boxing(yeah i get random) and i noticed a real nice looking car/truck in the background and i asked in the comments what it was and 2 days later i was told its an australian vehicle So i looked into it and i really liked the sporty looks along with the sporty performance 0-60 in 5.8seconds v8.
Of course i'd need to start with a built up motor and build up the chassis size (maybe not as big as the car) but i picture it can be done .
This really was my intent when i got the kart in the first place instead of buying a brand new car. It will be light,quick, moderately fast, and look good. and if all goes very well i can sell and manufacture but i have plenty to learn,questions to ask, and lots to think about.
well, i'm working again its only $8 and hour but at least its tax free so now i can start the build and i'm so ready for it.

i'll record the engine running with it in use when i get this welding machine and make an exhaust. But i'll probably end up making a vid without exhaust pipe to show the flame differences.

I'm reading about pistons and came across a Piston Failure analysis .pdf.

figured i'd share the knowledge.
Most people into karting won't need this info but if you're like me you could use the knowledge.

You would be way better off running the engine on nitro methane and methanol. With all the heavy duty parts you have in that engine it should be able to handle 80% no problem. It would also be easier to do. You are a very smart person I hope one day to be like you.

I'm quite disappointed that you've missed the easiest, most obvious way to gain horsepowers and torques. Even more disappointed that all the village elders have yet to offer up this little gem of advice. Please remove the powerband and paint it red and reinstall. Everybody knows red stuff goes faster. Lol

Welcome to the party!
We did not think that would even be necesary with 3 Jackshafts and 2 Carbs! But Good Point.
I like to paint my powerband Yellow!

Y'all are both wet behind the ears.....everybody knows the EASIEST way to gain 5 extra horses is to get your free DIY sticker and put it on the center of the pull start!
