running methanol/gasoline mixture???
I have some methanol at home and I wanted to try running a 10% methanol blend in my hot rod. I thought this might help with my detonation problem at heavy throttle since methanol has such a high octane equivalence. I'm also running a little on the rich side and I figured it would help lean it closer to stoich since methanol needs richer jetting than gas.
Are there any reasons why this would be detrimental?
Also, if I were to switch completely, would switching to a meth carb be the only necessary change?
