[Land-speed] Alky Burner and formula Holden ignition

[Dave Dahlgren]

That is an urban myth in my book as all engines like small good atomizing 
injectors at a high pressure so it does not matter what the fuel is.. IE. 
Alky likes.....
It does make the switch to alky easier as the injectors do not have to have 
as big an orifice as they would at 40 psi.I generally run between 50 and 72 
on most everything and juggle pump capacity by running a bigger injector at 
a slightly lower pressure than 72 if need be to buy a little headroom on the 
pump if needed.
