| Absolutely alcohol. https://postimg.cc/gallery/np3zpruo/"Dunning-Kruger Effect" -a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge. Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue. 4X NE2 CHAMPION. 2020 TDRA NE2 Champion |

| Methanol continues to gain acceptance as a valid race fuel. Most of the old wives tales that originally tagged along with methanol have proven to be non-issues. After 6 seasons of experience racing with methanol, I have learned the does and don'ts. Go for it, you will be rewarded with good performance.

Same here. I'd probably still be running E85 if it were still available at the pump around here. Best you can find these days is E70. I got tired of constantly hunting for it, mixing it, and testing it. Switched to methanol and won't be going back to gas or E85 any time soon(ever). |

| Methanol here for 30 years. You have to change how you think about engine temp though. More heat= better vaporization=more power AND consistency. I have 2 block heaters on each car, and 180 thermostats. Leave at 160, lose .05. I'd rather leave too hot than too cold. I've left at 200 with very little ET change noted. Too rich is better than too lean. You can burn pistons if you try to see where the kill zone is! Cold engines milk the oil, allows corrosion of anything ferrous in the engine. That's my experience. Your results may vary.... RIP
