I know that you must run larger jets with alky, but I don't know how much power or RPM you will gain.

One of my buddies used to race. He said that when they went from racing fuel (cam 2) to alcohol they must have gained about 100hp. He said the difference was like night and day. The only problem with alky is that it can be miserable to start when cold.
