Methanol on a DD
Would running methanol on a progressive controller allow you to run say 12.5-12.8:1 compression without retarding timing on an NA setup?
This is the idea behind it
stock bottom end 346 + rod bolts possibly
Milled 5.3 heads + gasket combo to reach desired compression
Big bumpstick(Unsure on actual cam)
Would be looking for Big na power on the stock bottom end.
Open to ideas and input.

I think you could do it fine, the problems I see would be if you infact had that much compression you are relying 100% on the meth kit making the octane high enough to withstand the added compression and be able to run pump gas and a good timing curve. Not to mention the fact that you won't net THAT much hp gain by running a compression that high. It is not worth it in my opinion. It would be a pretty bad *** setup though and it would sound mean with 13:1 compression.

Im unsure as to what compression i can achieve with heads and gasket combo. I definitely have more research to do. Was more looking at the overall idea. Setup like a 5 gallon tank in the rear where the t-tops go(hardtop car) and use the rear seat area(their gone) for storage when needed.
I think the compression and added timing with a big cam would lay down some pretty sick NA power. Thats the big goal.
