As far as the alcohol injection, didn't they inject it into the turbo to cool it?!?

Looking at the pics, I guess they inject it into the carb..

Rather than lowering the compression, Olds decided to inject the fluid to cool the combustion..
I'd suggest using an MSD Boost Master timing retard control with this one ;-)
