methanol or fuel?

[QUOTE=THE LEGEND;256071]I run Alky. $130 for 55 gallons. Dragster uses 1.5 gallons 1/4 mile almost a gallon in the 1/8th. Camaro uses little over a half in the 1/4 and a little under a half in the 1/8th.
I change the oil at around 100 passes.Don't be scared of alky.

I too run alky like the Legend said it's cheaper and more consistent I run a Rons fuel injection (A terminator) with a highspeed lean out.I also run a top oil with grape scent since it smells kinda nasty. I have a gas primer system, block and oil heaters to help with cold starts and quicker warm ups. I also run a vacuum pump.
Tips: Keep the fuel tank full so the pump stays submerged, it doesn't color the plugs so trust the ET/MPH, if you go the F.I route you need to use an inline stop. with the F.I.It's a little harder to start than a carb but the trottle response is instantaneous.
