    Default 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.

    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?
