Mmmm I do love the smell of methanol fumes...video!!

We are still thrashing to get the sedan ready for Bonneville.we managed to get the fresh blown methanol injected 540ci caddy motor fired up and get the cam broken in.
Thought you chaps would probably appreciate the video clip...Being a methanol virgin I'm kinda hyped about it.

That is one fierce sounding BBCad.

 

My ears are still ringing from yesterday

 

Nope, couldn't smell it...but I do know how that shed would have smelt

Just wait until you take the next step in the evolution of racing fuels. Nitromethane!

Congrats! Hope you do well!

shake rattle and roll

 

Sounds great !!!! See you out there....

 

Short of having to change the oil all the time, methanol is hard to beat.

i love the video the car is way cool a caddy lump awsome but the one thing i didnt see was a fire extinguisher i hope you have at least one

you never know.

 

Wow

 

Awsome!!! That must be a good feeling to have all that hiding in the garage!! Is there a particular mph you are going for at bonneville??

 

Glad you guys like it,not sure if I want to speculate on a MPH ....might upset the salt gremlins! just want it to stay together for a handful of runs at speedweek and I'll be happy.Theres definately alot more going on and stuff to do with this motor,it's going to be a rapid learning curve for me and the chaps on the crew.
If your at speedweek we'll see ya there

Sounds a lot more wicked than the other Caddy engine you had in there...I predict about 297 mph...think you can handle that much...???

R-

 

BITCHIN..I first saw this in 05 if I remember correctly...we just drove our roadster for the first time tonight...awesome feeling, but it reminded us we have work to do..hahah

 

Not sure about 297 but I still think I'm going to need some anxiety meds to drive this thing

 

I think you will need the meds after you drive it, once you realize what you have just done...

 

Cool..........but, you better tighten those belts.......Very cool........oh wait I said that......I REALLY need a salt fix.

Bitchin!, can't wait to see it go!

Hope to see you guys at Speed Week,

if I can get my shit together,

Damn, a blown Caddy on Alky................ain't that something? Almost sounds as good as my blown MEL on Alky....LOL,,just kidding. She sounds great. However, you need to tighten up that blower belt some. Good luck.

 

We need a yousmell site,to get the full effect of that video,nothing like the smell of burnt ethanol,well maybe nitro,or rocket fuel .
