It's not THAT simple.
How much fuel you NEED to pass through a single carb will be a lot dependent upon the size of the carb and the total amount oif fuel you need to make the specific horsepower.
If you run methanol LEAN then it hasn't got a chance up against Q16 in a horsepower race. When the horsepower gets up in the higher ranges, you can't get enough methanol; to pass through one carb unless you make the carb total air cfm less.

In short ... the higher the power level, the more difficult it is to get enough methanol through ONE carb in order to extract the power.

I did not say that , never paint yourself into a corner mr Hobbs

I know how to paint JY Kelly

are you serious

Yes sir you got xxx horsepower and it takes just a little bit to get the sled moving and a little bit of traction , if the weight was on the front of the sled at the begining it would be like applying the water brake full tilt on an engine at idle on a dyno .

There is a lot more to it than that , but you do not shift and you want wheel speed and maximum momentum and horsepower as soon as possible . Gas shines on the horsepower end simply because it burns faster and more efficiently at high rpm.

It's the never ending struggle...finding a fuel that is not only efficient but popular also.

it ain't a popularity contest......... If cow piss made more power than gas or meth I'd run it.......and not give a damn what other though about it lol.

I guess you missed KY's post about how 'popular' methanol was.

Fabio knows it will Et quicker and run cooler and more consistent with a cj head , Fabio is already popular he don't need methanol to prove it
