I would say yes you can achieve your power goals on pump gas alone. However, it will require very good intercooling and a lower compression than many might like. This will keep you away from detonation to allow you to use a sensible amount of ignition timing to make the power. Is it the preferred option ? not generally, but it will still work, and has worked for others for decades across many different engines.

And has already been answered several times. Meth usage/longevity depends on pump, nozzle size, tank size, when you inject and ultimately how often you actually put your foot down in such a manner as to actually be injecting.

I generally only inject water/meth when racing, so a 6-7 litre tank on the street would last me forever...simply because I dont use it there. I already have far more power than I do traction on the street, so the added power via meth is of no use.
When racing with suitable tyres and high traction surface, then I can make better use of any extra power.

IMO a 2.5-3 gallon tank ( AIS tanks are the best ) should last you a very long time, unless you drive like a complete lunatic all the time.

What turned me on to the turbo LS thing is the factory idle and double the mpg. Otherwise, it is a lot less complicated running a nasty BBC.

Question for guys in the know....

If E85 uses apprx 30% more fuel, and the increase in fuel system setup costs, is just running pump gas and a couple of gallons of race fuel mixed-in deliver the same end-result??? I know race fuel is very expensive - so take it easy
