I'm definately in if you will have a turbo truck. Steve Stock

I guess I can rest easy about this IC then. thanks for the replies, see you guys at the track, Steve

So are you Gents thinking the IC is efficient as far as cooling the charge and flow lost through the core? How much RWHP you guys making to get your buicks into the 9's?? Steve

Thanks guys. How much boost and hp you guys running? I need to get a CFM idea of how much air you guys are pushing. But the main thing how much pressure loss are you people witnessing. Im thinking about 2psi for mine, as near as I can tell. Steve

Hey guys haven't posted for awhile but I lurk. I stick a PSD IC on my NOVI powered 94 Lightning, then find out that some of you folks are using them on your Buicks. I bet mine was an easier fab job. Anyway, what I really wanted to know is, has anyone done any flow tests on this IC. I'm at...

You have a point with the ISO, but I haven't had time to work in some Meth. I do think that tune will never be optimum when you control the on point with a alky shot with an "on-off" Hobbs switch. If you can find away to phase in that shot (large nozzle)gradually I think the results could be...

I seriously doubt that you will be able to shoot that much in there at that low boost, that motor will fall all over itself. I played with DIY alky this year on my 351 supercharged LIghtning. I had a 2 stage system actuated by 2 hobbs set at 2psi and about 6psi. I ran a M2 nozzle on the first...

Your 10.2 is actually lean since stoich for the methanol is 6.45 If he is running roughly 25% Methanol to gasoline his stoich is right on the money! Good stuff, keep it coming! Later steve

If you are trying to make the most power, try different mixtures and don't worry why they work, just which works best. WEll thats the fun of it. :) I think this type of bench racing is productive and makes the sport better. Your right though, it isn't so much as to the theory or what one...

Michael good info! Maybe I'm trying to inject too much in my combo. Iwas running a 2M turning on at 2psi thn a 7M on at 6psi of 70% Iso. Maybe it was slowing it down on the low end and I didnt need that much to get the cooling results. Like I said before, I could turn the timing up. I'm...

Since you are saying that under those conditions water will not turn to steam, why is it so hard to boil water at a higher elevation? Just from what I know, it takes 9,000 btu of heat from a stove to boil a pan of water at sea level, I am at about 2500ft and it requires at least 9,300 btu to get...

Michael, I see you have made it over here from the corral as well. I like this site because it offers a technical level that is hard to find on other UBB's, bet there are more Ford guys lurking than anyone else. In short the Buick guys have it figured out and know how to go fast and have fun...

I also bypassed the switch, no pulsation. You might have to nozzle down because of pressures around 130psi. This is great for atomization. The only way to fly. Buy your shurflo from northern then pay 10 bucks for free replacement when pump goes out, hehe! Pressure switch is by no means the way...

1994 Lightning supercharged 11psi: 12.29@110MPH Race gas 26 degrees timing 12.65@107MPH Race gas 29 degrees with M3 and M7 nozzle running 70% ISO. Water slows you down period! End of story no disputing that in my application. My conclusion is this: At the track there is no substitute for...

Never could understand why they let retards pump gas in Oregon. Good thing you caught it or you could of detonated a motor. Hope you didnt pay for the crappy gas!

"Pure oxygen is very flammable worse yet you dont even need a flame to set it off. If any kind of grease or oil comes in contact with it your in deep ****, stay away from it." This is a good thread but I'm sorry you are wrong. Oxygen is 'NON Flammable" gas. Oxygen is an oxidizer meaning it...

THX. Gentlemen!

I'm running the 70% stuff(.25 per pint at Walmart) I assume it is 70% ISO and 30% water. Are you guys running this stuff further diluting this? I read on the Kenne Bell site they are taking 70% ISO and then adding 50% water to the mix so it looks like their final mixture is about 35% ISO the...

Solenoids allow more than 1 nozzle or you can multi stage your nozzle. Here is a pic of my Iso setup. It has a manifold and 2 solenoids that are staged at different boost levels. BTW, today I dyno'd and the Alky was worth 25 RWHP on 12psi boost on my Gen1 Lightning. It also allows me to run...

Hobbs switches(marketed through Stewart / Warner) are very well made and a quality pressure switch in the industry. I think the only problem you can have with them is when people want to use them in their circuits improperly, such as running without relays and running voltage through the hobbs...
