Has anyone experimented with say a 20% ehtanol / 80% gas mix for racing? I understand that you'd have to jet 4-6 jet sizes larger. It will increase octane, but will it increase h.p.? Our new pump gas will be 10% ethanol next year (in stead of MTBE) to lean out the commuter cars and "reduce polution" LOL, but if we richen things out, can ethanol help h.p.? The Indiana corn farmers claim it can increase HP. What do you think, and where can we get Ethanol?

Mark,

Thanks for the link. That's like the same question in a parallel universe or something? Here's the link,

Now how do we contact Wyoming Ethanol? What's C-12 fuel's octane rating?

Like Doc says, if you go out the first round at least you can party on the fuel. (as long as you don't waste it all in the gas tank) (disclaimer, please kids do not drink your fuel, it's not good for you) LMAO
