FireHead Posted May 14, 2009 Report Posted May 14, 2009 a drag race (pro stock) engine builder here in aus says he can usually get up to 5% more power out of his engines with oxygenated race fuel compared to methanol. the kx500 guru over at kxriders.com has told me the same thing with his big power kx5s. anyone on here tried it in there banshee? im gonna try it in my 4mm RZ, i have some 200psi domes for it and a programmable ignition, should be fun. it costs alot more per liter, but you dont use as much of it, and you dont have to purge. mark. Generally speaking, in a race engine, you can always get more performance out of alcohol at the cost of the increased fuel capacity required to go a given distance. Personally, I am working with blending high octane unleaded race fuel with a couple different type of oxygenates to get the power out of my red bike, but what I am doing is pretty fringe for the general populous and I wouldn't recomend it unless you are willing to lose an engine. :geek: Quote
