    Looking forward to seeing the beam progress!

    Were you struggling for fuel delivery or is this a pure power move?

    There is quite a lot of science behind it that is well over my head but basically pump fuel ratio is 14.7:1 .methanol ratio is 6.5:1 and ethanol is 9.1:1 . Cars will usually make good power on pump fuel however this is limited once you start to detect knock . Running methanol burns much much cooler so you can make a lot more power without knock but you need to run 2-2.5X the amount of fuel . For me to do this for my next power goal I would have either had to go with massive injectors I mean huge or run 8 1300cc injectors . The tuner has said if I go over to pure ethanol I will get away with 4x1300cc injectors but still benefit from its cooling effects . One other thing is I won't have all the chew on I have at the moment of having to refuel with gloves n glasses n shit on.and flushing the system after each track day. But yea these are proper motorsport injectors so stainless internals and a much better spray pattern than the deka 875s I was previously using .
