I want to build my car to run on gasoline and ethanol, either one straight, or both mixed together. The car is a 1980 camaro. The engine is a 9.x compression, I thing probably 9.6, with aluminum intake manifold and aluminum head (i include that because I've heard that alcohol is corrosive to aluminum.
With the Holley System, I will be able to load fuel maps easily for switching back and forth between alcohol and gas, or any mix quickly.
I am using stainless steel fuel line to cut down on corrosion in that part of the fuel system. What would the effects be on the stock fuel tank, and how could I solve the problem if there was one?
It may not get as many miles per gallon but If i was making my own ethanol, that wouldn't be as big of a problem.
Also, does anyone know anything about tuning an engine for alcohol, how far do you have to adjust the timing to run the alcohol effeciently and effectively, and how much richer do I need to set the injectors to achieve good power/good mileage?
Thanks,
Will
