Never did it but I believe its 2-1 for alcohol.So a switch to Harley injectors with a stock map would be very close.I really dont see really huge advantage to running it though.Dyno charts I have seen are only 3-4 hp advantage over gas for alot of them.I am working on making a turbo motor and if it run hot I may try alcohol.

I think with alcohol you can run much higher compression and that is where the power advantage comes from.

Just curious,doesnt alcohol eat up rubber orings? That would be my concern with using it.

Yes.It also causes corrosion and such.Need to drain it and flush motor after running it.
