Bison has enlightened me to a little problem that has led me to shut down wot correction. The latest info suggests Alky Injection can over enrich the rear cylinders causeing correction to pull fuel resulting in the front cylinders going dangerously lean. We have a few members who have learned the hard way.
Dual nozzle set ups are more prone to this. As the IAT drops Alky will puddle and head right for the rear cylinders. Running alky in cold weather is dangerous as well.
Alky is a wonderful thing but nothing ever seems to be perfect. No doubt there are some great advantages to running it but there is a fine line to what can be safely done.
IAT needs to be hot to flash the alky into vapor. When IAT drops below 70f on a dual nozzle set up you can guarantee akly is puddling. It makes sense if you think about it.
Food for thought.
