Im thinking about adding alky as my next big power mod some time next year. I was wondering if anyone ran it for HPDE's?

First off, are alky systems allowed with most organizations? How much do you normally go through in a day? What kind of mixture do you use in the system?

 

I ran 100% Methanol. It passed tech Inspection and that's all I nkow :}

I ran 100% denatured alcohol at Putnam, no one asked about it. I went through about 2 gallons of the stuff to about 4-1/2 tanks of gas.

 

What boost are you guys running also?

 

About what does the alcohol cost per gallon? That doesnt seem excessive for that much gas.

 

What about LICP

And here's a link....

LICP is also on the list.

Looks like it runs about $10/gallon if I buy it online and add in that HAZMAT fee. That's not too bad.

 

I run 50/50% alchohol-water mix. On pump gas, I'm able to kick the boost up another 3-4 psi without knock.

 

Isn't 100% methanol supposed to be very bad for your seals and fuel lines? Its very harsh, and will eat away at a whole host of things.

 

+1 for 100% meth.

You are correct but... We're not running it as primary fuel. It's injected/misted into the intake to improve performance. Basically its the polar opposite of nitrous injection. It allows you to increase boost and/or decrease your chances of experiencing knock. It also has a cooling effect on the intake charge.
