I've explained this before in 'the novel thread', but I'll go ahead and try to put down a short version.
The intent of this project was to build a BUICK Stage I V6 that was durable and efficient, and would allow me to explore the burning of 100% methanol fuel and the use of nitrous to spool a turbo that would be sized in combination with the nitrous, thereby allowing less compromise with the turbo sizing and spooling problem associated with large turbo to small engine combinations.
This combination was never intended to be 'competitive', but to just be a platform for me to experiment with the methanol fuel, the nitrous, and test ideas (turbo cam design, intake and exhaust manifolding) for creating efficient turbo engine operation.
This started out as my personal science experiment. It was never intended to be a project to show others that this combination could compete with, or out do any other combination being used out there in the Buick community. If you got the idea that I was trying to show up someone with this project, then you got that idea through some rumor that might have been floating around and started by someone else. If some are getting worried that it may produce more hp/cid than some more common combinations, then that's just a result from how this project has progressed and it wasn't my intent to compete on that arena. Heck, this engine is still running 1.835" int/1.5" exh valves. This combination has surpassed my wildest expectations a very long time ago.
The original planned HP level for this project was 650 HP, and maybe, just maybe, break into the tens!!! The engine kept wanting more fuel and air, and as I fed that to it, the thing grew into the monster it is today. And, it's still growing. The only thing holding it back now is chassis and fuel supply. The fuel supply system is maxed out and limiting my boost level. I'm presently running around 27-28 psi boost with an engine that's setup for 40-45 psi boost. Even so, I feel this combination will eventually max out at 1230 hp due to head flow restriction. I've calculated that it's presently at around 1130 hp. A far cry from my original expectation of 650 hp.
