I mainly installed it because I'm at about 11.2:1 and I didn't want to drop $8/gallon on race gas when I'm at the track. It works well on the street too. Snow claims big HP gains w/ the system, I'm guess because you can run as much advance as you'd like. Here's a chart on a 426 Hemi. Here's a link to my set-up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYw2q7igDGs 7938212-dyno_chart-large_image-19.jpg (85 downloads) [IMG]http://i66.tinypic.com/pui5j.jpg[/IMG] Coming soon!!!!

Assuming you mean switching entirely over - it's a great option for a race car as long as you are willing to handle the fuel system maintenance. I switched to gas in between races and had ZERO problems. Of course I was running EFI so I was able to keep it lean enough at idle to not milk the oil. Mechanical system usually run richer at idle. Engine ran much cooler too.

I've always thought that injecting into an engine is a bandaid. Straight methanol would be OK for me.
