i ran my 67 camaro on Gas Carb for three years..never lifted the front tires..just a good squat in rear....Best ET on Gas at 3,000 lbs with a 511 ci was a 5.99 at 114 mph..
the end of this year i decided to try ALCOHOL...ordered a custom alcohol carb from APD..swapped intakes...took the car to the track,,,rolled up to the line like i always did..brought it up to 4,000rpm and let the tranksbrake go and thought it would be like all my other Gasoline passes...well i was standing on my rear bumper before i could blink..then to make it worse i went into a roll about 1/2 way up.....i peddled the car down to soften the landing...got back into throttle after coming to almost a dead stand still little past the 60 ft mark.......still ran a 5.98et with a 1.32 60ft at 116mph...mind you the 60ft was clocked with the back tires and peddling the car....made only this pass and put the car on the trailer..my set up wasn't ready for the new bottom end Hit....
this is how dramatic the bottom end changed on my car from gas to ALCOHOL...i now have wheelie bars on the car and waiting for spring...i see no problems with lower 5.70's and some 1.26-1.28 60 fts...and probably in the 117/118 mph range.....Keep in mind this is a fullbodied PRO-STREET ( street legal) camaro at little over 3,000 lbs with a little big block ( 2 bolt main)..
this is 3 tenths increase and 3 to 4 mph increase...let me tell you i was a non believer in alcohol up until this past November 17th.......
Alochol is the sheznnnezzz ...
as zip and onebadgmac said...add injection into the picture and the throttle response goes thru the roof...
