Congrats to Josh Luedke on picking up his 50,000 dollar win at the Spring Fling. We have been working really hard on a 20 degree Alcohol set up for Josh and Steve Law. To say it was a tuff would be an understatement. After a few weeks of hard work, testing, dyno and dyno we got these babies figured out. Josh drove both cars many rounds and was able to get the win in his first outing with these packages. Thank you guys for your support and believing in us!

Nice! That thing was good and fast!

Would love for my 20 degree 598 would run like that on alcohol!

To the OP i've a few questions for you, if you have the time to talk alcohol and 20 degree motors i'd love to pick your brain. PM me if you don't mind.

Just call the guy that built the engine Phil Oakley aka Oakley Motorsports

6 months ago I talked to everyone about this setup and couldn't find anyone confident in making it work. I guess I was a little quick to pull the trigger. Congrats on making it work.

Flip has built a lot of engines for a lot of winners. Probably the most under rated builder there is. He's a first class guy on and off the track.

I didn’t realize what I had at the time but I had an sr20 motor on alcohol in 2014 that ran the same as my 598 sr20 on q16 does today. Even won the first race I went to with it (S/C Divisional at Indy). Had zero issues getting it to work. Actually sold it to Johnny Ezell at the end of that season and the rest is history.

Chris no doubt you were the first and maybe the only till now to figure out this combo on alcohol.

Not sure what the secret was...dumb luck I guess. I’d be hesitant to try it again.

Check your PM's

Wondering if whatever was done to the 20deg on Alky, to make it work, if that would translate into additional performance on a standard BBC head...........just wondering out loud.

From the little bit I've looked at, camshaft is critical...One ground for gas simply won't work. I also think, but not 100% sure they soften the chambers a bit to slow things down inside the cylinder......
