Warning! Pure oxygen and petroleum products (oil, fuel, grease, etc) don't mix. If the O2 hits the smallest bit of oil the wrong way, then you could become a greasy spot!
This is why that automotive folks use nitrous-oxide. You get the same results your are seeking with a safer gas around an oil covered engine.
If you do decide to add NO2, you need to add more fuel as well, and lots of it! Going "full rich" will not be sufficient - or you would have to severely restrict the amount of NO2 you provide to balance out with the amount of fuel available at full rich.
This whole topic screams of getting some high altitude training. It same concepts that affect your physiology is affecting the engine. This is why turbo charged airplanes don't necessarily go faster, but rather they can go higher.
