Devilsown Methanol Alcohol Water Injection - View Single Post

I've been tossing around the idea of adding an alcohol kit to my 99 Regal GS. The thing I've been noticing is that most of the cars in this forum are less modified than mine. I haven't noticed any cammed cars here. Most people talk about being able to drop from a 3.4 pulley to a 3.2 or 3.1. I already run a 3.1 daily. I currently have the ZZP SSIC. I'm wondering if an alcohol kit would give me any advantage over the SSIC? I'm currently in the process of getting Powertuner access, because I'm having Torque Management issues (spikes of KR at the shifts that count down at the decay rate to 0 untill the next shift).

I guess my question is, would it be a performance advantage to remove the SSIC and add an alcohol kit? Or would it be a tossup, performance wise? I'm fairly certain I could sell my used SSIC for the price of the alcohol kit, so financially it's a lateral move.

Any thoughts?

99 Regal GS - MSP cold air intake, Stage 1X cam, ZZP SSIC, SLP headers w/ highflow CAT, LS6 springs, 3.1 pulley, DHPv1.0, 180° drilled tstat, AL103 plugs, AFC2.0
