Well, I know that a carbureted 358 SBC makes a bit more power on alky than gas. Only changes to motor: Jet's and timing (sometimes). The only reason I can think of is what Dave has said about charge

I think this question would have been better asked if the type of fuel injection was mentioned. Port EFI? Throttle Body EFI? Hilborn mechanical injection type? I don't believe the spray pattern from

With normally aspirated mechanical fuel injection it really depends on what fuels you are using. If you are using Nitro or alky place the nozzels as close to the valve as possible. If you are using g

A chemist told me that oxidizing hydrogen gives off more energy than oxidizing carbon . Methanol has a higher hydrogen to carbon ratio so that would explain where the extra power comes from . John Bu

then why would you need to injest twice as much of it to gain 10-20 % more power.......... Joe :) Quoting John Burk <joyseydevil@comcast.net>: -- This mail sent by http://webmail.rushmore.com

I think you will find that the reason alcohol gives a bit more HP is two fold. Resistance to detonation and oxygen content. Tom, Redding CA - #216 D/CC

It actually has a lower octane rating than a good race gas.

Really? I thought that methonol had an octane rating in the 114-120 range, which is pretty equivalent to race fuels I'm aware of if not slightly higher. The reason that you need more to make equal po

I'm not the best tuner in town but I've never found alky to make substantially more power than a good motor on gasoline. If using constant flow FI I run more pressure to get the atomization I would l

Ok, this is interesting because years ago I was told that methanol had an octane rating of 130 and the only race gas that I can remember with a higher rating was Dr. Hill's old H &H Super Blue at 145
