Heres a page with some strange thoughts for those who are running diesels -
say for tractor pulling.

Seems these little beasties run at insane rpm with both centane enhancers to
make it easy to light the fire and octane enhancers to smooth out the quickly
lit fire to make more power.  

Since they work at different points in the combustion process they don't
cancel.  Amyl Nitrate lights it off cold and early.   Ferrocene or lead slows
the formation of free radicals - without affecting the ignition properties.
Quick light off, much higher compression ( or boost ) without bad side effects
of either.  Food for diesel guys thoughts.
