BIG methanol compatible injectoes... about 160 lbs (kinsler has them) and a methanol compatible fuel system.... (stainless fuel rails, Big lines, big pump... very big... aeromotive stuff and bigger)
and much more compression 14-16:1 or boost on high compression engine.... or ALOT of boost on medium compression engine... 30 psi on a 9:1 engine.. and lots of dyno time and money to either build it so it dont break, or fix it when it does....
but why? and what use??? i mean the energy content in meth is low, so it must be for racing right?? and alky engines arent a secret so what is the question even for.. what class?? what goals?? what budget?? what engine and so on.... but id suspect that 1500+ Hp should be possible on a 6L with boost and meth

Do you know where to get those parts?
Thanx for your reply.

id call kinsler they have everything you need in the way of methanol compatible EFI stuff.. ( www.kinsler.com ) their costumer support is top notch but a pure alky supercharded engine has potential to make twice that ... a 454 LSX with good heads and LOTS of boost could knock out 2500 Hp with carefull tuning
