Less percentage nitro is easier to burn than more nitro.
In your statement above concering more or less RPM, nitro content has nothing to do with top RPM,
the pipe design and pipe length controls top RPM

Hope this helps

Sorry but no. Nitromethane has a lower octane rating than methanol. Therefore it will ignite sooner.
