Methanol fuel in an LT
I was doing some research and looking race fuels and wondered if anyone has ran in a LT track car?

I believe the @noice brothers ran methanol in their 68 camaro. But I haven't seen them on in a long time

Yea I ran mechanical injected alcohol, nitrous, and race gas. Sometimes even a little bit of nitromethane in the alcohol.
Alcohol runs around 6.5:1 ratio so you'll about double your fuel usage.68 Mechanical Alcohol Injected LT1.

Nothing major, it is more consistent for bracket racing. Less of a change with weather.

Thanks again @noice. I'm looking into running in the street outlaws in CO and wounded if that would give an edge over c16.

No not really. Unless you are running a turbo/blower combo and really need the cooling/detonation resistance of mechanically injected alcohol.

@noice thank you for your knowledge. I would like to run a twin turbo set up.

Well for pure drag race only, methanol + turbo is awesome. Don't even really need an intercooler with it. Street driving will suck as you will have pretty poor mileage.

@noice Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Can I switch between alcohol and race gas when I run it on the street rarely?
