well yeah i get that but i with the electronic controller i have my spirit r/t, if it detects pump failure/loss of power/and or pressure to/from the pump, it then sends a signal to my boost controller/wastegate controller and wg soloenoid and its opens the wastegate on the turbo dumping all boost. So if the meth injection fails under boost, nada to worry about. Im not worried about clogged nozzles, cuz well, there is more then enough pressure there to push anything out of it that may get into it.
If i was running a non filtered induction then yeah id be concerned but i would run a filter /like on my spirit r/t..so chances of clogging is slim to none
i mean, not having a fail safe on the meth injection is like not having a spare tire in the car.. sure the chances of ever having to use it are slim, but there is a chance and you dont wanna be caught in a situation without it... at first i didnt have a fail safe on it but i got bored over the the winter and wired something up for it with spare electronics i had laying around.
yeah but iirc, you burn like 30% more of e85 to go just as far as a pump gas setup. I kinda like getting 400 miles on a tank with my challenger.
Edit: i get your point entirely now but the chances of anything failing and causing catastrophic damage is as good as anything else in the car. Something to keep in mind yes, but nothing to really toil over
All of that takes time which you dont have if you are detonating. I dont like using extra parts that can fail and cause the engine to blow.
Fuel only and boost only is the best way for a street car
and as FMX said no reason to stroke the engine
Stroking is an old school way of making power when fuel delivery sucked and risk of blowing the engine was high or you are trying to make dragcar power
Short stroke + Big bore + Good heads/intake setup = fun street engine. More cubes will result in more torque which will result in more driveline parts failing
Honestly with a cam/headgaskets decent sized turbo like a s480 and e85 you are going to have trouble keeping the rest of the car together.
As far as MPG goes it depends on the tune and how you drive it.
You can run E85 a bit leaner at highway cruising than normal gas so the resulting MPG decrease is pretty low(10% range)
at WOT you will be using 30%~ more fuel but i doubt you are going to be driving around wide open with 650whp+ all the time.
