Alchohol Injection

a buddy in the TALON group has this and was a little curious about it...

do you think it really makes a difference? Is it dangerous by any means like NOS??

also, what are some other options??? what about something like propane?

I did some dyno testing @JDM with it. The only advantage I can see is that you can run more timing on lower octane pump gas. If you are running race fuel AND methanol injection then you will lose power due to running too rich. Even bumping the timning up to insane levels with the 104 octane/methanol combo yielded negative results over 3500 RPM. Using a 50/50 mixture of meth and water will lower your A/F ratio by just about one full point. You can you lean it out using the chip, but then it becomes counterproductive.

I can run 26 psi with 93 octane gas only and alcohol injection. Of course it works.

Sure cleans up cylinder heads.

Windsheild washer fluid works good to. It has alchol to keep from freezing and removes carbon from top end.
