Big Al, Dave Buschur, and some alcohol!
How much boost do you think you could run on a stock motor with conservative timing? 28psi? The reason I wonder is could you say run 28 psi with alcohol and when it runs out turn it down to like 20-21?

4ringturncoat, what type of alcohol does Dave use for his injection mixture? I have about 10 gallons of a 50/50 mix of methonal and distilled water. I hope that will work well.
The BR system uses 100% alcohol. I have been using denatured alcohol which is about 90% ethanol and 10% methanol. I have driven the car pretty hard since last Friday and gone through about 2 quarts so far.

Al,
I tweaked the boost like Dave said and it pegs 26/27 lbs in first and second almost instantly. The slight leveling of boost when the alky hit is completly gone...this thing is just stupid in first and second now. I would like to see what it does on a dyno. Think I will need the BR580 for tens but this thing must be good for a sub 11.50 pass right now. Your tune as amazing.

4ring.....congrats that sounds great.
What were your wHP before and after? I didnt see that posted?
1 other question,...You said your trying to keep it stealth (I like, LoL) is the alcohol kit stealth enough to get by a dealer? I know you said it uses the intercooler sprayer tank

What she does on the dyno is not that big of a concern, to me the REAL hp proof is in 1/4 mph, not so much et but what she can mph. I was going through the traps at 114 so if you figure out car weight, et, mph and know your a pretty driver you can tell pretty close to what hp your making. Mine was around 430 to 440 at the most at the crank last year.
I can't run the car right now so I am curious to see what she would dyno. The car is soooo much faster now then when she was running 11.90's. I am bettting it is over 440hp (pulling number from a**) on Als dyno. I will always understate performance until I can back it with a few passes. All I know is I have a 9.99 and faster NHRA liscense and pur it to use every now and then, even after going 9.60's in a drag car this thing still feels very very fast.
I doubt the kit will get by the dealer as there is a large stainless hose going into the top ic pipe right by the throttle body.
