Alcohol requires additional FLOW (30% more is the usual base line. in the case of my 68' bigger carb, jets, fuel lines fuel pump in your case injectors MAF etc.) in order to achieve what stock engines are built to run on and with using normal pump gas swill.Alcohol has a lower specific gravity and combustion index contributing to its higher octane rating. Again there's lots of good info on the net. Sorry for the original lack of explanation.

I think a OBDII vehicle has a few more sensors and a more complex ECU then a carburated '68. Especially if you're running boost I wouldn't just "dump it in and go" that's when shit goes wrong and you're looking for a new engine. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="rolleyes.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>samsbolt390</b> <br /><small>Member # 11645</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2012,5,22,11,4,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> You read and answered my first post about my 95.
