Well we ended up making 1070hp to the wheels through a TH400 transmission. The problem now is that we are having a hell of a time finding a torque converter that will allow us to stall at 5500. So now it looks like we will need to throw a 225 shot of nitrous at it to get it to launch...
You have to multiply .65 by Methanol's stoich A/F ratio which is 6.4
.65*6.4 = 4.16
You are thinking of gasoline's stoich A/F ratio.
What I really need to know is what type of additional timing we can add with the methanol vs. Gasoline. Is there a rule of thumb like: with methanol you can add...
We are waiting to get the car back before we can tear into the engine, as it is currently getting a new intercooler installed.
We definately are not experiencing a lean condition as our datalogs showed that we were tuned at about 0.65 lambda.
This is a turbocharged car.
For reference we also...
We are running the stock Toyota head gasket, but I am aware of other people that are running the same gasket on methanol with no problems.
The head studs are stock sized (7/16" I believe) but were upgraded to ARPs L19 material.
The timing was about 6 degrees advanced at 40 psi and 8500 RPM...
My company has recently built a drag car that uses methanol fueling and high boost pressure. We are having some problems with burning through the head gasket, which I believe is due to an over conservative timing map.
Some info on the engine are: 3 liter of displacement (Toyota 2JZGTE), 40+ psi...

I currently have a turbocharged 6 cylinder methabol race car that I am having problems with pre-ignition on. We have seen instances where the engine will pre-ignite and cause the head gasket to be damaged between cylinders. Does anyone know an effective way to combat pre-igntion? Also, could the...
