Jim,
The use of water/alcohol injection is usually associated with supergharged engines. Mercedes Benz used it in the 30's in some of their supercharged cars and most of the fighter planed did.. I'm not sure how I could tune the quanity of additive to the A/F. But it's something to consider if and when we get our CR up. My present plan is to use regular gas and just take it as far as it will go. I believe cam timing will have an affect on mileage as well. I have no idea why we're getting such good mileage with the L-100 cam. There is much speculation but no facts. Fun Putzin.
