Alky and higher boost

I am having an alcohol kit installed tomorrow and I was wondering if I can simply increase my boost while watching my wideband and knock readings. Or do I need to get it on a dyno? Thanks.

I just don't recommend jumping it up at once. Go about 1/2 to 1 psi per serveral runs to make sure you are good and safe and consistant. If you get knock your car will actually run slower. Also with alky injection it is good to monitor spark if you can to see if the car is missing any or feels choppy (where a dyno/tune will help).

I have a basic flash for these mods-

TBE
Walboro

However after the flash I added the alky and GSC 264/272 cams.

And since no one offers a mail in flash for alky, I'm wondering if I can simply increase my boost while monitoring AFR and knock.

yes you can, but it would be wise to add some type of fuel controller in the mix to make adjustments.

Without any type of fuel control it probably won't do you alot of good honestly because it will be so rich.
