Question Will spraying Alky (on a Maggie) change the AFR???

Will spraying Alky (on a Maggie) change the AFR... I am seeing (obviously) richer numbers when hitting the Alky. Just double checking...???

If so, what AFR should I shoot for??? Was using 12 to 1 before Alky kit was used.

Of course. You are changing the Air Fuel Ratio (AFR).

Anywhere from 11.0:1 to 11.4:1 is a pretty safe AFR unless you are getting knock.

That's with the alky on. That's a little richer than just straight gas.

What kind of boost are you running?

Do you still have the 30# injectors?
