That's a little better than $120 a gallon from Klotz.

Has anyone tried this?

The Klotz Nitropropane  (is what I used to buy) I used to run in the gas saws when allowed. I seen a good tenth knocked off in 1 cut in 8x8.  jred up by you  has tested it too and might still have some.   

At the end of the gas saw racing I quite running it because of being lazy and anything I gained was killed by my poor operating.

The old PP 375 on 93 octane Klotz 32:1 ran in the PINE wood at Chardon 3 seconds for 3 cuts and a 4.58 cold start on that run. Never timed just 1 cut on that run. But it is in the 2010 chardon perlim video.
