That is to make lots more power, again no improvement in fuel economy.

That is what I am going to do. The 8L I am building has 11 to 1 compression and I would like to run regular pump gas.
If I can use RUG instead of premium gas and run a lean tune it will be much more economical.
Not really any application for water/methanol for fuel economy improvement on an EPA and .gov approved production engine.
