    Jeff had a good start, I took it much farther than I'd originally intended. An addiction, certainly.

    87 GN in DFW TX w/lots of mods

    This is going to be a long read... For any long-timers here in DFW that might know the car, I bought it from Jeff Komasko. T-Top GN, Jeff had added GNX clone pieces but no fender flares. 7 years ago, I commissioned turbo-guru Bill Duke to build the powertrain for this car. Very soon after, I was...

    Blown engine due to alcohol?

    Thanks everyone for your thoughts, all good. In the middle of the heated discussion with salvage last night, my anti virus and firewall started going off, as "someone" was sending me a virus, and trying to break into my computer. My IT dept at work is helping to get a handle on the source...

    My norton anti-virus just warned me that there is now a virus attached to this thread. Nice.

    Blown engine due to alcohol?

    I've read my own posts, and still don't understand why the original question was unresaonable. The alcohol is for the street. The car will have a race gas tune for the track. It may have been a misguided attempt to be diplomatic by including "running out of alcohol" as part of my question...

    Blown engine due to alcohol?

    Thank you, Julio, for thoughtful answers to my questions. I had already made the assumption that development and advancements in these systems are what you and Steve have accomplished, and they would not have come without a need. I thought I may have ruffled your feathers as you manufacture and...

    Safe alcohol

    Ok guys. I get it. I pays my money and I takes my chances. :) According to John's many posts on the subject, that's where I made my first mistake. I payed good money for what I believed to be a well engineered and tested sytem, when, for something as simplistic as alcohol injection, I should...

    Safe alcohol

    Whoo boy, now that was insightful. Thank you for putting down your banjo long enough to type that. You think I would have started with a nearly twenty year old turbo Buick if I was looking for guarantees? Why is having the best possible understanding of any system on your car asking for a...

    Blown engine due to alcohol?

    If you read twin 93 svt's reply to my post "safe alcohol" in the alcohol section, he says that 9 out of 10 blown engines that come thru his shop are related to alcohol systems. That's significant. If you read the whole thread, you'll see that I apparently p*ssed razor off by daring to even ask...

    Blown engine due to alcohol?

    I'm not meaning to ruffle anyone's feathers here, but that bird may have already flown anyway. How many here have lost/damaged a motor from an alcohol injection system failure/or run the system out of alcohol? Nothing is perfect, and I'm already onboard with a system. I just want to fully...
