Slick setup on the AC.

BTW, I've been on the phone the last couple days with a few Buick folks who make injection units for their GNX's. There able to run up to 22 psi with the Alcohol injection. Their limiting factor (detonation) with such high boost is A/F mixture temperature. Thus, they developed the injection for the purpose of cooling the mixture. Consider the possibilities if you cool the achohol in the same bath with the AC intercooler bath - just add a small coil.

I explained that the Lighting is limited on boost, and that the RPM limit on the SC prevents any further boost, the only other simple mod is timing. Since the alcohol injection increases the octane rating (how much is the variable), a race program for higher octane fuel can be developed, for the street, using pump gas.

I sent photos of the intake system so a working kit can be made. I hope to be testing it next month.

Possible working kit cost: $350 to $450

Other ideas: Using the battery relocation setup, a fake tank (looking like the battery) could be in it's place, the red lead actually the power to the pump and selenoid, the black lead actually the hose to the nozzle.

Thoughts?

Wow after reading all of this I just got stupider than what I was befor! Any Good ideas! As to topgun's setup, are you running the A/C coolent throught the I/C? or are you useing a cooling can, to cool the I/C fulid?

BTW, The tower and light thing is funny, im gunna try that on a few friends of mine
