Blown head gasket.. did detonation cuase it? lack of injector? lack of fuel?
To answer your question, a multistage requires multiple nozzles(more than one), multiple pressure switches(more than one), multiple relays... set to turnon at different boost levels so the car isnt flooded by too much alcohol sprayed too low. The pump can be kept at the pressure setting it came with from factory, you need to find nozzles that work for your application. And take it from there.
Given your combo of parts, very few cars like yours run alky. Most are on a straight diet of C16 race gas. Not that you cant run alcohol and make that car fly on 93 octane, but given the nature of your posts, your new to tuning this stuff and require someone knowledgeable to get the car dialed in. At the expense of popping more headgaskets and labor time, it appears your trying to cut costs on this stuff.
Its way easier to install alky on a non-modded car and learn to add/substract till things are worked out. Even at this level doing a DIY kit for the first time can be a little troublesome. But a stock car can take a lot of detonation without popping an HG. Your mods..a little and POOF goes the HG.
I made my kits to try and alleviate situations cars like yours pose. But even that, will take a bit of trial and error, lots of chip programming to get rite.
Wish you success with the multistage.. its not for the faint at heart.
