best blend for alky?
Reg: which fuel is best for performance in the alky reservoir. I've heard various theme's on the right way to run alky, 99.9% isopropyl/ 50/50 alcohol--water/ denatured alchohol/ methanol etc.----all with a little marvels oil. Any tips would be apreciated. Is water blended with 99.9% isop. , i was told with a little water, since steam expands faster than gas it will produce more power.----------Thanks --86GNGUY.----- 86GN/Reds 93 street chip/ RJC powerplate/walbro340-hotwired/Adj. FPR 43LBS./coolant lines blocked/160therm/shift kit/2.5" duals/cat gutted/K@N/Scanmaster/SMC alky--with 99.9% isopropyl triggered @14# boost/ Max Boost20#/procomp gauges/ stock injectors/intercooler/ --Scanmaster readings--O2-840 with 1.2Deg retard @ shift point2nd to 3rd wot./-----O2 839 with 1.6 deg. retard @wot in 3rd. This is with 92pump gas/ blended with some toluene/ with the alky( stock turbo as well). Never been raced so no #s. Does anyone guesstimate what this combo could run with sticky dot tires. I am running 235-60-15 front/ 255-60-15 rear and it likes to bark the rears even with modest throttle. Thanks again.

Re: best blend for alky?
Thanks PaCemkr Reg; your running straight meth. Does any one else out there have an opinion about what there running in the alky reservoir,and there results , come-on there's got to be more than one person who has a reply. Mr. Keller or Mr. Mosher you guy,s are the Buick wizards, what really gives the best bang for the buck? Thanks 86GNGUY.

I haven't delved into this part of the game, so I don't have anything to contribute.

Re: best blend for alky?
Go wiht what the vendor of your kit recommends- SMC is denatured and Klotz/WD-4/MMO, while Razor's kit is all about te meth. Meth will eat the SMC pump, unless the seals have been upgraded.
I've run both, and I like running the straight juice without dilution. Doesn't make sense to put water into a fuel source..... |

Re: best blend for alky?
ive also found even if you tune your car on race gas, you can make more power with race gas and alky.
Scott when your ready, to step up into the alky game im ready help ya anyway i can. I have yet to set my cars up on a race gas only tune, im very happy with the power on pump gas and alky, on the GN and Ttype |

Re: best blend for alky?
socalgn,
I run a 50/50 mix of isopropynol and water with good results. Doesn't seem to change the O2 readings, just kills knock. I have run 24# boost with this mixture, pump gas and a 108 thrasher chip (not sure what the timing is) with no knock. I run a TA49, stretch intercooler and shoot it straight into the up pipe in front of the throttle body - same as most systems I should think. Any way, the Iso works for me. I used to use rubbing alcohol before I found a source of Iso, which also worked excellently with the same mix.
