water methanol vs intercool
#22
CH3OH
I posted this in another thread a couple weeks ago, but looks like it's worth another try:

I need to get a new pic for that since I re-installed the grid heaters and put all three w/m injectors in the plenum cover plate last fall.

"The latent heat of evaporation of methanol is less then water. This basically means that less energy is required for methanol to go from liquid to gas state compared to water. During the compression stroke, as cylinder temperatures go up from compression, the methanol particles release from the water particles as they go from liquid to gas state. Once in gas state and at higher temperatures the methanol particles will ignite. This creates multiple combustion points distributed in the cylinder resulting in a more complete air to fuel burn."
Or detonation, depending. Take with however many grains of salt needed. Meth has more oxygen in it. Personally I've never run anything "but" a 50/50 mix and have no measurements to back up my claim that I'm getting more than a 10hp gain. Butt dyno says otherwise. 3rd injector event:
