Shit happens.

JDP has got countless Methanol cars on the roads all over the country with almost no problems to report. Julio at Alky is amazing when things do come up also so that helps me feel good about their system.

I'll be sure to give good honest feedback on my personal experience when the time comes but with Jordan and JDPs track record and continued success, I'm confident this car will be a force.

I also think someone said something about 750 WHP. My goal is 750 Crank so about 600 WHP. This car is beating cars with much higher power already with just 305 F1s on the back so I'm pretty impressed with this cars ability to put the power down. I think the car can do more with Less. At least, that's been my experience so far.

I was about to ask why you were even bothering with E85 if your goal was 600whp, but then checked your math. 750 crank = 650 wheel (15% difference). I still think the better route would be to replace your fuel system with Z06's, get a smaller pulley and cam it, but it's also probably a lot more expensive up front. That would cost you about $3k in parts alone. I understand why people use E85 and there are lots of shops pushing it and doing it well, but it's not for me. If you really are only looking for 600rwhp and not 650, you should be able to hit that and leave yourself a safe buffer by just replacing your fuel pump and moving down one size pulley.

Edit - I just looked back and saw why you didn't use 15%...didn't read the entire thread.

I'm curious about what equipment JDP has that enables them to accurately determine how much fuel to deliver to your engine? I may be wrong, so please feel free to correct me, but my understanding of methanol is that no one in the aftermarket has ability to accurately measure this properly and they're all simply guessing based on what worked on prior cars.
