The crew and I have discussed a few times what my car would do now on straight methanol instead of straight nitro. Lower compression ratio, low gear, rear gears, tight converter...it's heavier now too. It would be a quite a bit slower than back when I started with a typical methanol setup. I started in the 8.60 range. The consensus is we'd be doing 9.30's or worse vs. our typical 6.80's on 100%.
Hopefully, we will find out when my daughter starts driving it in 5 or 6 years. That's exactly how we plan to start out...0% and work our way up again.
