    so.. anyone use Acetone in their gas tank?

    i tried it in my honda and it worked. but the biggest increase in gas mileage for me was driving 5 mph under the speed limit everywhere and keeping it under 2000rpm everytime i take of. my car is rated at 28mpg and by doing this i got 31mpg on my last tank.

    Need Confirmation from Engine Builders Please Help

    just snug the rocker down until the pushrod has zero clearance between the rocker arm and lifter, then give it another 1/2 to 3/4 turn and that's it. This is the most basic and easiest way to do it.

    Is it possible??? (possibly genius idea)

    it is possible, you would have to fabricate a lot of stuff, but why do it when a line lock is cheaper and easier to install?

    Methanol conversion ?

    running pure methanol on an everyday driver is not really going to work that great. you would have to completely redo your fuel system and get injectors that would be up to the task. (you need alot more fuel flow) plus you would need to flush the system with gasoline very often to keep the...

    Methanol conversion ?

    it takes about twice the methanol versus gas. I have ran methanol on a 9:1 compression motor before. The only problem was getting it to start on cold days. This is fixed by starting it on gasoline. It is pretty corrosive and attracts moisture. Had to change the oil about every 20-25 runs...

    disconnet injectors for fuel savings?

    I was reading on Chevy’s displacement on demand. They drop 4 cylinders (disable injectors) and they have special lifters that prevent the valve from opening. They said the drive by wire allows this to happen smoothly because it bumps throttle open more so you want notice the drop in power...
