Alcohol

What kind of power could you see if you ran Alcohol through a 2V V10?
What would need to be done to make it work?

Well I've never converted anything to Alcohol before, so how does it compare on other engines?
Isn't the main advantage of alcohol the lower burning temperature?

Are you talking ethanol or methonal? Can run E85 with the least amount of modifications. If you want to run any form of alcohol leave room in the budget for a larger fuel tank, you will need it.
