Killin' the Sonic with alky fumes...........

The little Chevy p/u I built the pump gas 383 for last summer................put an alky carb on it tonight.............sounds pretty pissed off...............awesome street manners...............don't get hot lol.

Gonna take it to the track here in a week or so, see how it does............

We need video!

He's got just a mechanical pump for now, we just wanted to see if it liked it first. Gonna put my Magnafuel pump and regulator on it, make the cell vent bigger. Truck has a real aggressive sound to it now. This is just a 9-1 compression deal, will be interesting to see the track results. It ran some 8.50's in the 1/8th, we'll be taking it back to the same track.


Shit just aint right lol.

Im giving ALky a thought....

Video Needed

I think me and the kid are going to the drive in tonight.............will take Fabio cam...........



Other than the fuel consumption the street manners are as good or better than gas..............I'm rather shocked lol.

With the windows down the wind out of the wrong direction will have you scrambling for air though............

f

yea that and you can run away with more compression
Probably going to use it in the big block. my little SBF can stick to gas.....well

didnt make it out, I ended up going to the track today but he did take the truck out for a cruise after he got off work.


boy done burned through half a drum already............

bump

thing does sound good!

There is no reason at all why methanol would not produce great street manners with a good carburetor package, a warmed up engine and some decently warm weather. I good engine driven pump and a large fuel line is probably all you need for fuel delivery.

It's got a nice snotty sound to it!!

People on the sidewalk are prolly wondering why their eyes start watering when he drives by!!

Bill

We put the gas carb back on for the index race last night, went right back to runnin' 8.50's............

Kid ran some 7.90's with the alky carb here 2 weeks ago............

Once a chevy guy ALWAYS a chevy guy. Once you go chevy you don't go back. Tisk tisk tisk, if someone I know has a chevy I wont let them park outside my house. They're gonna walk! Just razzin you. Is this your sons truck?

Its the Wife's Boss's son, known him since he was a tot, took him to the races way back in the day.

I think the thing really picks up due to the weight and tight converter............the mph is about the same so its all about torque in this case.

How big if the converter? How does the diameter play into effect, I know you said it before but I cant quite remember? At least you got your wife on the boss's good side.
