Nitro Gas Power

Can I use Nitro Methane in my 2003 Dodge Neon instead of regular gas?
I heard it gives more power.
In a minor application, nitromethane is used as a fuel in racing, particularly drag racing, as well as for rockets and RC Models. In car racing, nitromethane is commonly referred to as "nitro," "top fuel," or just "fuel". The oxygen content of nitromethane enables it to burn with much less atmospheric oxygen in comparison to hydrocarbons such as gasoline:
4CH3NO2 + 3O2 → 4CO2 + 6H2O + 2N2
14.6 kg of air is required to burn one kg of gasoline, but only 1.7 kg of air for one kg of nitromethane. Since an engine’s cylinder can only contain a limited amount of air on each stroke, 8.7 times more nitromethane than gasoline can be burned in one stroke. Nitromethane, however, has a lower energy density: Gasoline provides about 42-44 MJ/kg whereas nitromethane provides only 11.3 MJ/kg.
Nitromethane can also be used as a monopropellant, i.e. a fuel that burns without added oxygen. The following equation describes this process:
4 CH3NO2 → 4 CO + 4 H2O + 2 H2 + 2 N2
Nitromethane has a laminar combustion velocity of approx. 0.5 m/s, somewhat higher than gasoline, thus making it suitable for high speed engines. It also has a somewhat higher flame temperature of about 2400 °C. The high heat of vaporisation of 0.56 MJ/kg together with the high fuel flow provides significant cooling of the incoming charge (about twice that of methanol), resulting in reasonably low temperatures.
Nitromethane is usually used with rich air/fuel mixtures because it provides power even in the absence of atmospheric oxygen. Otherwise, rich mixtures cause ignition problems and a lower combustion speed.
When rich air/fuel mixtures are used, hydrogen and carbon monoxide are two of the combustion products. These gases often ignite, sometimes spectacularly, when they and any unburned fuel contact atmospheric oxygen at the end of the exhaust pipes.
A small amount of hydrazine blended in nitromethane can increase the power output even further. With nitromethane, hydrazine forms an explosive salt that is again a monopropellant. This unstable mixture poses a severe safety hazard.
In model aircraft and car glow fuel, the primary ingredient is generally methanol with some nitromethane (0% to 65%, but rarely over 30% since nitromethane is expensive compared to methanol) and 10–20% lubricants (usually castor oil or a synthetic oil). Even moderate amounts of nitromethane tend to increase the power created by the engine (as the limiting factor is often the air intake), making the engine easier to tune (adjust for the proper air/fuel ratio). During combustion, this fuel produces a characteristic blue smoke.
****Note****
"Nitromethane was not known to be a high explosive until the 1950s when a railroad tanker car loaded with it exploded."
