Please remember methanol takes up approximately 28-33% of the fueling needed to run the car.

Even if the octane was sufficient, it would run 100% IDC without HFS-1

I guess because when you run slick you have slip factor. But then again I have no idea what I'm talking about. Well this year I'm only going to make the big HP and just going to rocking Dunlop Z1 tires this year. Can't afford rims and slick this year. Maybe next year if my wife doesn't get pregnant.

I'm with you, I couldn't afford a rim/slick combo either right now but thanks to Scott@TTP with his sponsorship I have a set to use at the track.
