Methanol mix A/F ratio code CRACKED!

What is even more interesting is with my old turbo car Dave(you're very familiar with) I tried MANY different AFR strategies, timing strategies, different methanol to water %, using 100% M1, using 80% M1 and 20% water etc. etc. etc.
What I found at the end of the day was that my car went the fastest mph it's ever been at the boost level I was running it at with a mixture of 85% M1 methanol and 15% water(using proper mathematical conversions) a timing advance of 14* at peak torque and 16* up top and an AFR of 11.8-12.0. This was with 50% C16 and 50% pump 93 in the gas tank as well.
I tried it richer and it slowed down, a lot. I tried 100% M1 and it did well. I also tried 50%/50% M1 to H20, but the highest MPH came when using a little bit of water in there with it.

the bsfc was 1.5 ish
or more like 3.3-3.5 :1 a/f
cheers

have seen that, good reading. i think if you are running 100% of either fuel like was said above just keep the lambdaover 1.4 , and if you're using an alcohol scaled meter keep it 3.3-3.5xish.
that is because the bsfc for each is different, when you mix them i 'think' you need to make an adjustment to the target. havent spent any time on it yet.. it will probably come out the same as my first calculator.
