If you guys dont mind I would like to ask some more questions on methanol, I am currently racing mod bike with a stock 03 busa, I want to try to have a loose plan for improvements over a few seasons to build the bike up to an eye watering turbo machine.
If possible I want to avoid painting my self into a corner where the money I have spent over previous seasons is wasted when I eventually put the hair dryer on. Obviously there is many limititations to this goal but nonetheless I will do my best.

Currently my PB on the Busa is a 10.22 and I weigh about 115kg without any rum in the tank.Beer
I have an intake cam to go onto the exhaust side and have picked up a cheap set of high comp pistons for next season. I have been thinking about throwing a Motec M4 on the bike for data collection and tunability which would help me now and later for turbo, methanol or nitrous. Some swingarm extensions is also in the plan.

So what would your opinion be on power gains from a stock engine using methanol compared to pump fuel?

Wouldnt there be cheaper ways to gain the equivelant of power which was gained form methanol?
If so why go methanol (apart from price of fuel) because it is sounding like a hell of a lot of preventative maintenance?
Is there any compression ratio limitations using methanol?
To get 2.5 times more fuel in, I would need to replace fuel pump, pressure reg, fuel rail, injectors and ECU?

Thanks in advance guysClap
There is no strong performance without a little fanaticism in the performer
