I use alcohol injection on my Turbo Buick motor. It allows me to run over 20 pounds of boost on pump gas. 20 pounds of boost on a 8 to 1 compression ratio makes the compression ratio close to 20 to 1. So alcohol injection work well.
Instead of using alcohol injection has anyone considered running our LT5 motors on E85? It would seem to me that with 16 injectors all we would need is a chip burned for E85. E85 has way more octane then our 11 to 1 compression ratio would ever need so timing could be increased also. The new injectors work with alcohol so why not use E85?
