1997 Cadillac SLS 4.6 V8

Quenton6 · 07-07-2007

Hey, I have a 1997 Cadillac SLS, (I know what you're thinking) But I wanted to get all the gas mileage/ Horse Power I could out of it. And Just recently someone told me about your guys Alcohol injection system, but he wasn't sure If you could do that with non supercharged/ non turbo engines. So I was wondering If it was safe to do that on my car and if so what you guys suggest I do, What kit and such to go with. My car has around 300 Hp ...If that makes a difference. Thanks!

Depending on what part of the country you live in will make the big difference in how much HP you will gain, Running 104+ octane all the time will allow you full timing at all times and that will be were you see the hp gains.

The progressive kit running off the stock MAP sensor using a voltage faced controller would be the best way to go. Plus you can stop using premium fuel and go to 87 octane and you will still be well above 100 octane just using -20 washer fluid. or a 35%-40% mix of water methanol.

good point.. i never even considered on a NA car running 87 octane and Alcohol...

vrs having to run 92-93

It would pay for itself in no tiime
