I have wondered how well this shit would work it is a great theory but i think it has a few loop holes ...

Like with running that much alcohol wont you have the same problems that alcohol dragsters have ? With the constant flushing of the fuel system and combustion chambers? Due to the effects of aluminum oxide?

It will be interesting to see this setup in 6months after it has been up and running?
I ran E85 for a few months. Very little boost(not enough injector). Only thing I had different fuel system wise was a -6 braided steel from the tank to rail. Ethanol is not NEARLY as corrosive as methanol, which is the issue for alcohol cars. In that short time I did not notice any ill effects after removing the rail, injectors etc.
