Gas or Alky

THE LEGEND · 11-26-2007, 01:33 AM

I use a dedenbear under carb stop with both sets of blades.
I use gas now but I'm thinking of changing to Alky. What are the pros and Cons???????????
Thanks

I was actually thinking of going the other way. Just to try it out. When I first started TS racing I made my stop rpm around 4000 and was having trouble with puddling. I raised the rpm and the problem was gone. The only disadvantage I can see with alky (for me anyways) is that sometimes it can change a lot from day to day. With gas from day to day you can pretty much predict it using DA, but with alky, there is so much more to consider (VP,baro, hum). The best thing about alky is that once you get it figured out for the day, it's usually stuck. Tough call!!

The reason I ran gas was I use the same fuel in my stocker. I did'nt want to carry 2 kinds of fuel.
I used to braket race on alky. I have talked with a lot of racers the last couple years that run gas in their .90 cars and wondered why they did'nt use alky. I have considered switching but why. The car works good the way it is. Just something to think about over the winter.
Thanks
