Is Alky worth it on Stock Turbo?

Yea thats kind of what I meant, since the meth lowers egts, you can raise the timing and and thus create faster spool, but I really don't think meth spools up the car faster than denatured alcohol though.

Also in nc alky is like 10bucks a gallon (thats cheapest i can find it) and meth is $2.50 a gallon at local gocart track, This might be why he is going meth, also Meth makes more power right?

The reason everyone runs methanol is not due to economics, but HP

Alky, and meth are both alcohol. They are likely the same fuels from those two locations.

, why wouldn't I believe you?, Off course I do believe you but you haven't discovered the fire though, most people get their Methanol for less than $2.50.
If I am not mistaking Mr Al Friedman mentioned me that he orders 40 gallons at the time in a barrel delivered to his house for dirt cheap.
As far is my $7.00 for alcohol, I am paying about average 40-50% less than Joe smosh, I ordered my supplies from Ace hardware in 5 gallon cans and with additional military discount. Normal price is $11.99 plus tax for a gallon for a normal bystander customer which comes close to $14.

I think it may be the opposite. It reduces cylinder pressure and EGT temps. EGT temps contribute to spoolup. One would assume hotter EGT would increase spoolup, not lower.

if your spray point is low enough...i'm pretty sure it will help spool time.
cooler air = more air molecules than hot air = more air to cylinders = more air to turbo = faster spool time
...also timing.
No downsides other than it being corrosive, if you run denatured alcohol you won't have this problem. Injectors would not be affected and your cat would be affected just the same as normal gas would.
I bought up all my local home depot had a couple months ago...
You really dont need that much for a daily driver if you are not hard on it..
I have been on the same gallon for 3 months....pretty good..
I couldnt find anybody local that sold meth..

Guys,
Thanks for the information. I didn't realize I would get this much response. I think I'm going to go with the following:
- Alky Kit- running meth
- Boost to 26/27 (Waiting on recommendation from Al, could be less or more)
- Maybe upgrade injectors (Is this needed to run higher boost - I assume so...)
- 10.5 Hotside
- Custom Tune
Hoping to break 300awhp on BR MD?
Thanks guys,
Mike

No need for injectors since you will be leaning out the car on alky. Sounds like you are going to have a fun daily driver, maybe add some 272s and ARP headsutds in there though.

I've got the headstuds but only have 264's cams. I must of missed listing the headstuds.
Would 272's make a world of difference? I really enjoy the 264's because I'm more of a low end speed freak. I rarely go over 90 unless I'm passing someone, but I sure love to get to 90 FAST! It's the rougher idle/power worth it?
Thanks again!
