What to set 280 cams at/where to buy methanol!

I have the 272 cams now, and will upgrade to the 280's, what should the cams be set at for optimum HP? my 272's are set at -2/-2. Where would one find methanol to buy for the methanol/alky injection? What is the best to put in the Meth/Alky resivoir? H2O/ denatured alchohol or methanol?

Were you making uptimum power with the gears set at -2,-2 with the 272's?

i think it's supposed to be at +2/0. search for a thread about the 280's where TedB posted.

I think I am in need for a "bit" more power, and dont want the big turbo, with all the low-end lag. I am not seeking a trophy for the most HP or lowest 1/4 mile times. I wont be drag-racing it, wifes gotta drive it also. supposed to get quicker spool-up with the TME, am sick and tired going to get the race gas (110 leaded), i use this race-gas map because it is the only one I could get dynoed. (porsche exchange in chi-town last year). This is the reason for the Alky-kit. cams are thrown in there just because i guess. How is your project going? and pix? talk to you soon,

I am not sure if I am making optimum power, AMS set the gears here -2/-2, as they said it is at optimum HP for the HKS cams, I think I am getting the most out of them, but you constantly see different numbers tossed around, thats why I asked.

Bolsen, I have an AMS red annodized fuel rail (never used) if you could use one for your project. 100.00, wont need it for the TME turbo. As a matter of fact, this really is more of a lateral step as opposed to an upgrade in turbo.

Set cams at 0/0 if you are more worried about the power than idle.

Hey man, i don't mean to barge in, but i could use a fuel rail as well if your looking to sell yours. I have an RNR turbo kit being made, so i need to upgrade my fuel components. Thanks, and again, im sorry to barge in!
