Nuther question: If methanol likes 14:1 and 15:1
kind of CR, and I put it in a gas motor that is,
say 10:1, isn't that like taking a gas motor on
gas and cutting compression ratio down to 7:1? I
mean, isn't that existing 10:1 way too low for
Methanol?

My experience with the little (284ci) Hemi has been that if you run less
than 10:1 CR you're better off sticking with gas or running a alky/nitro mix.
Above 10:1 CR things got progressively better the more "squeeze" I applied.
By the time I got to 17.5:1 the little Hemi started getting happy, running
194+ at El Mirage in a pretty "dirty" rear-engine lakester with a wing and no
streamlining aft of the driver.
