I talked to Cyrul a while back when he was still running Sirio engines. He told me about the mysterie oil. It's actually made for aircraft and helicopter turbines and it has a dye in it that reacts with UV light. The dye is there to detect leaks in the oil lines and the turbines. When it gets in touch with sunlight it tuns black.
Gets a lot of attention, but it's a PR stunt.
The oil itself is supposed to be very good. They ran only 3% of it at the 2003 worlds in Cinncinnati.
Btw, up to 2004, when I still lived in the US, I simply ordered my nitro methane from World Wide Racing fuels. Also, if you have a drag strip in the area, chances are that there will be shops that have NM in stock.

I think you will find that the difficulty will be obtaining the Nitro, as it is now a controlled substance in the US. (I hear the Oklahoma city bomber used nitromethane in his bomb recipe, now it is restricted for purchase. I was actually screened and had a background check the last time I purchased some!)
I have heard of some super-oil available from Motul (I think) that costs more than $100 per Liter (you know, the stuff that supposedly turns the fuel tank and everything black after use) This oil is supposedly making the best power and is used by Andrea Rossi for his race team as well as some other top teams, but I have yet to obtain and test some. If anybody has any leads on getting this oil in the US let me know and I will test it on the dyno.
There are some pretty handy programs available online to help with the mixing quantities if you are going to blend your own. You just need to do some Google searching.
