1. Going up in nitro percentage (like 25->30%) means you have to richen the tune. Nitro carries more air into the engine, but that also means less methanol gets to the engine. So to equal it out, you richen the tune.
So a higher nitro percentage means more power, but more fuel is used, and because of that runtime will suffer.
