Default LS3 on Methanol

Just thought I would post this up for you. It is our latest project, I know it's not in a street car, but it could be.

Enjoy,

We haven't run it on anything but methanol. I would guess it would be down 30 hp and around 50 ft-lbs

That's too cool. Are they a specific class? The car that is.

We are currently working with Huset's speedway in Brandon, SD. They are looking at making a specific class of these. We had a race at Jackson Speedway in MN last night, I think they said we started and ended 14th. Must have been a 1 lane track, but they did say it raced excellent. There are some pretty stout competitors there, so it was relly good to know.
