alright, i know basically nothing about methanol. anyone want to school me on why its better if it has less power output per unit volume as compared to gasoline?
Head Milling and what it does to you...
- Thread starter regal81455
- Start date
gallon per gallon yes it has less power output - but when you can burn it 2 times as fast as gas well you see why it makes sense.
Also it burns alot cooler and cleaner.
If you ever dip your hand real quick and pull it out of a bucket of meth it will cool your hand. After some hard running my carb will be sweating and feel cool to the touch from running meth.
It has a higher octane rating then even race gas so you can run higher compression.

Also with an Air Cooled Engine (I.E. Blaster) it keeps the engine temperature a lot lower when making HP.
Downsides...
- Eats more of it
- You have to flush it out of the crankcase with another fuel when you are all done for the day because it eats seals and corrodes aluminum.
- You have to dramatically change the jetting

Gasoline, Ethanol, and Methanol all have different Stoichiometic Ratios- meaning you have to re-jet the carb. Gas is about 12.5/1, Ethanol about 9/1, and Methanol about 6/1 (very rough approx.)
so how much more hp do u have if ur head is milled .20 over and ur cylender is bored .40 over?? is it much??
wow thats a lot more than i thought it would be so it should be fairly faster sence ill have the power to play with the gear ratio and has anybody done a 15 tooth in front with good results?
14 is all you need in the front.A 15 will barely fit in there.I wouldnt suggest running 1.I would just put a 14 in the front and 38 on the rear.
I am running 14/40 gearing with 22 inch tires and i am running about 75mph..With 15/38 gearing and 22 inch tires you probly would be running about 90-95mph depending on how many rpms ur motor can turn.And yes you will loose alot of lowend running that setup.You should run 14/40.Its a good gear combination and there isnt any noticable loss in power in lowend but the extra highend is very noticable.
sweet lol i herd that theres no way in hell a blaster will go like close to 70 i think it was on here some where tho i i dont beleave it at all defanatly can go faster than 70
i dont reccomend miling, or shaving your head what so ever. Im new to my blaster but still, put all the performance sh*t you can find on it. and if that doesnt do, get a banshee.
braapbrapp95....what are your reasons for not recomending head milling???? just out of curiosity i would like to hear your reasoning on this one ! when building a performance engine , increasing compression is almost essential . also to ppl that are considering head milling remember that how far you go with it will determin what type of fuel you'll be able to run...remember at the rate were going gas will be about 10 thousand bucks a gallon before long and cam 2 is aweful expensive ! if ya get your work done at a place that knows what there doing they will let ya know how much is too much to take off,( piston knock etc...) i had .020 taken off at first and then had some more engine work done and decided to go another 15 thousands to .035 now .and the only regrets i have now is that i have to run cam2 and around my house the stuff is highly expensive.
