Question
Hi Dan,
   I want to install a alcohol injection system in my 2000 Volvo S80 T6.  What are the necessary products I must purchase? and how to I go about installing it?

Thank you,
    Daniel Yang

Answer
Hi Daniel- - -I wish I could help you but my expertise is on real race cars.  I know of no alcohol injection system that is permitted by a racing sanctioning body.  Many dirt stock cars run pure alky , others run gas.

In both amateur and professional road racing we run gas, though it's much higher octane than you can buy for street use (it's also about $7 damn dollars a gallon !!)

You might try getting in touch with the tech guys at Summit Racing <www.summitracing.com>  They've never let me down yet.  

Good luck with your project !

Experience

I have been racing for 20 years, I have been the Central Florida SCCA Regional Championship points for 5 years running, and won the championship in my class 2 times. During my first start in the 60's I won many solo awards and the State Championship Drags. I serve as a senior instructor for SCCA, and have taught in Mercedes AMG events at Daytona, and Dodge Viper Days at Sebring International. I have been in the thick of the competition for all of my career. At one time or another I have driven race cars at speeds nearing 195 MPH. It's quite a ride !
