Gary,

All the nitrous that I have run has been on top of alky with alky as the 
secondary fuel. It has worked quite well for me, but Dale at NOS told me 
that I was giving away HP because both alky and nitrous have a cooling 
effect. Which I knew, but it was easier not to have to install a second 
fuel tank. Next time I will probably set it up for gasoline on top of 
alky or gasoline & nitrous on top of gasoline.

Alky is suppose to be a very forgiving fuel, but I have actually hurt 
less parts since going back to gas class than I did running on alky. 
Just showing my ignorance, I suppose.
