2008 Baja 1000

That's been rolling around the back of my brain since I saw it in the Summit Racing catalog...thought it would be great in conjunction with the S/C.
Since the S/C boosts the power up to near the limits recommended for our tranny, it's probably good that I can't afford it.

Im thinking without the S/C. Its completly tunable, it not only created lots more power on WW2 P-51s but increased the gas milage also. It Keeps your overall Temps down. You gotta rember the methonal is incapable of burning at a 50/50 mix so it cools everything.

I don't have your depth of experience, but I got the impression that these kits worked best with boost. But if you can crank the volume down enough, it sounds doable.

Like I said before, they have done it on a natraly asperated cobra mustang and gained 100 HP, even a 50 HP increase would be awsome.

Without forced induction you won't see any significant power increase, and if they're claiming increases without boost then it's likely bogus. The P-51 had a two-stage supercharger, the NA meant "North American" who was the manufacturer of the P-51. Unless you have something to force additional air into an engine then the volume of fuel available to generate power is pretty much limited by displacement. But like P. T. Barnum said, "There's a sucker born every minute" and it seems most own vehicles.

Hey Joe....you wanna argue radials vs. inlines.....vs. Vs? The P51's aero played a bigger part than its engine. You couldn't stay on boost long, before you grenaded the thing anyway. I've read a few pieces about using the alcohol as a cooling charge, instead of fuel...lots of potential there. P.S. P38's were blown till their head bolts trembled......same deal....you got it for 32 seconds.

Quite possibly, but only from the neck up...not a big fan of the Deads music.

Just wanted to drag this thread out of mothballs to see if Moonraker has any further info. on the methanol injection or Baja prep...I have my doubts, since he hasn't been active since his last post.
