off the wall LT1 ??? has anyone tried carbing and running there LT1 on methanol? just a thought a circle track guy put in my head a while back about trying to make more power with my LT1. the engine isn't in a car right now and its a project that may turn into a drag only motor.

Yes, I just got done doing this over this past winter.
If you have time look at my write up about this project.

So far I'm happy with it.

power isn't the issue, i can make power by just using boost or N2O, its more or less of how the power is made. if i would do this it would stay N/A thats why i'm asking. the motor when put together should make somewhere around 600 at the flywheel on pump gas, but that is with a SR street cam. with a dedicated drag cam i would like to see 700 flywheel in N/A form. its already max c.i.d. with 410.

dude that is awesome, what kind of power do you make? i was going to carb it and stick it in a 2800lbs. car with strong but light as possible drivetrain.

I really don't know what the Dyno numbers are on this setup. The Gas setup with the same motor, heads and cam made right at 400 to the wheels.
This I do know that I picked up almost .3 in the 1/4 and almost 3 Mph.
I picked up more torque then anything else, the 60's went from low 1.6's to an average 1.55. Once I put a different rear gear in this it should pick up some more.

Methanol is awesome!!! I dont run it in the car but I run it in my bikes and love it.
Crank up the compression on your build and don't look back.
I wouldn't run it on a street car, but a track only, it's the only way to go. Runs cool, super hard to detonate, makes more power. Neat stuff
