Magazines are written by people who have built something, genius.
It's a band aid fix. If your car is running so high that you need it to keep it from blowing, you're only covering up the problem.
If your alcy fails, your engine blows. Fix the real problem and you won't have to spend money on such a gay mod.
you are an idiot, seriously
when you mod somthing to the point of what i did, having alcohol injection isnt even an option, its a must.
the only theoretical way to "fix the problem" according to you would be to return the car to stock.
there is no problem, you run 30+ psi, that compressed air is hot as fuck, - alcohol cools it
with running that much boost, you have to run equivelent fuel, which together, creates a piss ton of compression and when ignited, an assload of heat- alcohol keeps the air/fuel charge from exploding (detonation)
/ vs an even burn
it also prevents preignition, so when yur running that much boost and fuel, it can ignite the charge just off the pressure in the cylinder before the iginitin event, alcohol stops that
and with the alcohol being injected, it helps cool the cylinder head and walls just by contact, and because alcohol "burns cold" it lowers EGT's by alot... WOT b4 alcohol in my r/t was close to 2000F, with it its around 1300 WOT
heat destroys parts, and without alcohol on a heavily modified engine, you are aloking for alot of problems / short engine lifespan
