    Hey guys anyone ever experimented with running 100% Ethanol? Curious on how different the jetting is and if it's even worth the hassle of changing over to...?

    It makes less power!

    the IRL has to go 100% in 2007 and are considering raising cubic inches to keep the same performance! Clarke of honda engines says it makes about 100hp less in the current engines than methanol. I read that in PRI news.

    ICMinc.com has some interesting technology coming out very soon for all of motorsports. They are playing with some blends and trying some additives to perfect and increase performance over methanol @ a lower price.Check out the Ethanol in racing section . Keep in mind that a lot has been done since this web site has been updated. We are planning to start back with more testing in a promod with a blown alcohol engine this summer and try to improve on what Mark Thomas started years ago. More very soon!!!
