WOT correction OFF with Alky?

[pacecarta]

wet flow manifolds ( for carbs) back in the day we were told to avoided smoothing the floor ,
they actually put grooves the intake floors to prevent fuel droplets from just running into the head

champion intakes and champ irons the floors are smooth as glass if its a droplet its running back into the rear cylinders as a droplet

i have neither a power plate or smooth floors
mease sheetmetal open plenum , stock rough floor intake and stock rough cast heads with the cast circle in the runners ,


not saying its the answer , or that there is a real problem , just little old school for discusion

Think of when carburetors were still common and the tricks the OEMs went through to deal with fuel fallout. Especially during cold start up.

we had carb gaskets with cone shaped screens on the primararies of the quadrajets,
and those crazy heated screen EFE (early fuel evaporation) plates on dual jet carbs

And fuel fallout is more of a problem with methanol than with gasoline under cold conditions.
Anyone ever try to cold start a methanol engine in cold weather?

With some of the cars we run on the tracks here we've had issues with alky and a cold engine. We've gone so far as to use boiling water in the radiator and blocking it so that the engine will have enough heat in it to run. While alky has some great advantages it's a complete pain to use in cold weather.
