I need your opinion on something. I'm debating over four options having to do with auxiliary fueling for my car.
1. Add alcohol injection
2. Add alcohol injection with fogger 2 nozzle that mixes with gasoline at the nozzle.
3. Forgetting about the alcohol and just adding a seventh and possibly eighth injector in a two stage type arrangement
4. Another option for the seventh injector would be to use an NOS fuel solenoid with a NOS nozzle that can be adjusted with jets ( although this is much more adjustable than just adding a seventh or eight injector it would cost significantly more.
Option 2 is the most expensive followed by 1, 4 and then 3.
Question:
1. Do you think that adding more fuel is equivalent to adding alcohol injection or does alcohol injection have it's own unique benefits?
I'm under the impression that they are both to prevent detonation although I think the cooling effects of alcohol and water might be the distinguishing difference.
2. Considering cost, benefit and overall effectiveness which route do you think would be the best? Note: an alcohol injection setup would require the aquisition of a holding tank and high psi pump. Adding injectors would require neither, only the purchase of a pressure switch and injectors would be necessary.
