Run Methanol mixed with gas? i dont know if this thread goes here but i dont know where else it'd go, but my family races sprint cars, and we have tons of 50 gallon drums of 115 octane methanol and i got to thinking, damn that'd make my LS1 really come alive, if i mixed any in with my 91 octane pump gas, do you think it would hurt?? any suggestions?
I'm suspicious that you'll see component damage
on a car that doesn't have methanol-compatible
plumbing. Which I somewhat doubt for the mass
market, not-even-E85 F-body. And that kind of
octane on a "low" compression (10:1) motor is
not liable to buy you anything much. It's got a
lower energy content than gasoline although you
can (and must) run more of it per air. Like double
your injector size?
Turbo, now there's maybe another story.
How much is methanol per gallon, by the drum?

Or just inject as needed (much more potential in this...)
