Re: high compression with boost???
Ethanol would work also, it's pretty much the same but higher octane, and you can get bioethanol for pretty cheap in many areas now. The latent heat of vaporization is a tiny bit lower though, 0.93 MJ/kg for ethanol vs 1.17 for methanol (water is 2.258), which means ethanol won't be as effective (but close). It's also less toxic and better for the environment as a fuel.
Plus,I can go down the street here and get bioethanol from a gas station, which can't be said for methanol.
As long as the seal materials are compatible, you should be able to use a meth injection setup for ethanol as long as you change the amount being injected, which needs to be tweaked anyway..
