lol, alright i thought it was a load of bull =P

this kid isn't mean just stupid. he always tries to make himself off as an expert with cars, football, music, and other redneck stuff =P

 

go buy some moth ***** and give him 5 bucks for gas and tell him to put it in his car and have him drive you a round, funny to see what happens.

 

lmao!

haha, i just went and told him that he was full of it, nicely =P, and he asked me why then he witnessed a lawn mower bust a wheelie

lol, now i know he's full of it!

 

x2 on getting him to try it in his car.

I did do a little research on the idea. The primary ingredient in moth ***** is naphthalene, which is flammable, but I don't see it making a lawn mower do a wheelie.

 

haha naphthalene. actually all thats even gonna do is maybe raise youre octane rating of the gasoline. then it presents another problem of burning dirty and leaving nasty carbon build up everywhere lol. also read that they mostly use paradichlorobenzene in mothballs now. this will make HCl in your motor during combustion. THIS IS BAD!!!!!. its acid and will literally eat away your engines internals lol.

facts and opinion have been placed. lol

 

I came across this article in C&D...enjoy. Maybe your friend is not that stupid after all.

Even if said method does increase the octane to 107 octane, it doesn't provide that much power(they sell 110octane at the drag strip). And unless you are running a race built motor it doesn't make much of a difference.

And lets not forget that the substance is toxic.

 

yeah, and even if it does work

1)a lawnmower wheelie? please...
2)i'm still never gonna risk it, haha...too much room for error =P

 

Tell him to eat a few and see if it shaves a couple seconds of his one mile run time.

 

Speaking of nitrous, does anyone have it installed on their car on this website? I keep seeing this section and am always wondering if anyone has done it to their car.
