Yeah what Steve said! The following is what I stole off my website and use.
*My Dual Staged Deadhead Methanol Injection Kit using VP fuels M1 methanol, 140psi inline fuel pump, full cone fogger nozzles M5(on at 4psi) and M10(on at 14psi). Hood mounted 2" 150psi pressure gauge for the Alky with stainless pressure sender
*RJC - Stock Plenum Power Plate - BEST MOD MONEY CAN BUY ! It equalizes the amount of air per cylinder and in turn also equalizes Air/Fuel and EGT ratios in each cylinder. Very Important !
Good to hear you already have a power plate installed !
If spraying alky into the upipe was a no-no then why does 99% of the Buick world do it. Because it works that's why.
Sure the Bison Alky plate works but I don't know enough about it to say that it works better than fogger nozzles on the uppipe. What I do know is a plate is a plate and that will raise the height of your plenum and throttle body and could ruin your under hood pad. I also think that his plate does not spray the alky out as a fog, it just squirts.
The key to spraying alky is to FOG it in and along with using a Power plate which ensures that the incoming Air and alky is distributed evenly per cylinder. I can't begin to tell you how the power plate is a God send. You feel the difference after installing the plate, and there's less knock for sure since all the cylinders are getting the same amount of air and Alky/fuel. I say fuel also because I still run a 7th injector and that was purchased at the time in 1998 or so to make sure the 5 & 6 cylinder were not leaning out. Yes, I am still running the stock but port matched turbo at 23psi and 22 degrees timing all the time every gear on the street.
With all that said I too thought of switching to E85 but have decided I don't need it. Heck I can always drain the tank from the fuel rail and put in some VP C-16 anytime and turn up the timing. No need to replace injectors, chip, fuel pumps or return lines or any of that stuff to accommodate the e85.
If you stick to gas only you don't need upgraded lines unless your building a monster that needs a huge pump.. I would think that 60-80lb injectors and a Walbro 340 pump using a volt booster is doable on a gas only car. I have been using a Walbro 307 shimmed and it is the same as a 340.
I'm gonna finally replace the stock turbo with a TA-49 that's being rebuilt as we speak and go to 60lb injectors. Yes they are overkill for a TA-49 and the sad part is that I will finally after 20 years or more might have to replace the Maxeffort chip with a TT 5.7 unless Eric will re-calibrate it for me of which I already sent him the ROM file.
Alky is your friend but only use VP Fuels M1 Methanol with it. No bullshit mixes.
What turbo do you run or are you gonna run Phil?
