Just how much more volume does a fuel motor flow.
 Let's say a straight alky motor.  If a given
motor is perfectly balanced with a 750 CFM carb
on gas, is there a rule of thumb like it needs
950 CFM on alky?  Now what if you throw in a
light load, say 25% nitro into that alky?  How
much flow now?  Another question for the same
hypothetical motor.  How much bigger should the
jets get for alky, and how much for the
alky/nitro mix?  
I know, I'm asking for sixty years of experience
in sixty words or less here, ain't I?
