I went to a Carb/Alcohol in My dragster when I built it last year (from gas in the door car I had before) I had a Pro Star 500 Magna Flow electric pump to start with but later put on a belt drive pump and since then it has been great for dialing and you can't get the motor hot even in Texas at 100 degree days. I love it but it has been a little more maintence and oil changes. But all in all I would do it again.

I talked with a local engine builder that runs the TCI/FAST FI and he has seen problems with the EFI on Alcohol with the fuel rails corroding and pluging the injectors then melting pistons. But the same guy loves the Rons mechanical FI on Alcohol.
