Alkohol Flash-running w/out alcohol

How many of you are running a alkohol flash and how does the car run when not on alkohol.What if you are too lazy or busy to fill the tank.I know you have to reduce boost but how does the car run with all that timing at reduced boost.Any regrets for not getting a piggyback or standalone ems.

Far as I know the car will run the same -- you just don't want to boost over 21 lbs.

it will pull timing out, a pretty good amount probably.

alky kits aren't for everyone....and you sound like the prime candidate for NOT getting a kit.

Turn that boost down if you out of alky. Don't let people confuse your laziness for stupidity.

Just turn the boost way way way down to what you ran before the alcohol.

Depending on how the alky was set but should be nada. Alky won't spray at anything below the set point so do yourself a favor and don't go WOT or do it and let u know

seems that most tuners are starting the aggressive timing at as low as 14 psi. Its not like you can set the alcohol to only spray at 21 psi and above as far as i know. The alky kits usually start at 12-14 psi of boost.

if your out of alcohol, i'd run maybe 10-12 psi until u get more

I already have a kit and this is just a hypothetical question.If your on a long trip and you run out it sucks.Im leaning towards a piggyback so that im not a slave to the alky.
