Does it have a benzene ring structure?

Get unleaded race gas if you want to, but you probably need to dilute it. Too high of an octane can hurt you as well as too low.
Or use Toluene. I've succesfully mixed and run 98 octane with it, although my best results were around 95 octane from a performance standpoint (this was previous to my last hectic round of major changes).

I know the octane don't affect us NA'ers as much, but it "feels better".....

I made a spreadsheet to calculate it. However, you can have your mix 'run away' with you. You have to be very careful.
For instance, the starting octane is used for the calculation. At the end of that tank, your starting octane for the next batch is higher. Most people overlook this, and their octane slowly creeps up on them.
I usually calculate mixes FOR people offline.

Read the link to the HotRod Magazine article in my previous post; it has all the technical information on Nitropropane, how it works, and its effects. When we meet this summer, I will show the effect on E.T. and MPH when added to the fuel.
Is this because it burns easier than fuel? Not harder like toluene?

Is that what you were asking?

I think you're missing the point that boosting your octane artificially is far more expensive and troublesome than just buying it from the pump that way to begin with.

Oh yeah.>..That over the counter octane booster is crap!
I personally make my own high octane fuel for whenever I run N2O in my Camaro.
The formula is quite simple:
One gallon of 93 octane pump gas + One gallon of Xylene(Available at any paint supply store) + One ounce of Marvels Mystery Oil (For Lubrication) = Two gallons of 103 Octane fuel!
