I agree. Rat Bastid reads between the lines. He still thinks I have a cooling issue since I said methanol runs cooler. Never once did I say I had an issue. But when you can’t read properly, problems will follow.
Actually YOU mentioned the cooling issues. Not me. And, if you go back and read, I agreed with you. It will cool the engine. It’s not the way I do it, but it’s done that way.
In essence, we agreed on every point except making power. You can make the same power on racing gasoline and you can on alcohol, and usually do it with less total timing. But you can’t just cobble a cooling system together and expect to make power with emissions level coolant temperatures. And you have a much, MUCH tighter tune up window. Some guys can’t tune that close, or don’t want to do it. So alcohol makes the tuning easier. And run to run variations CAN be tighter on alcohol than on gas, but again that’s a tune up issue.
