That is kind of sounds like what I have out in my garrage. An 8L 8cyl engine with 11:1 compression. I don't want to use premium gas forever. What I would like to do is run regular gas for cruising around, hooefully in lean burn, not using any water injection. Then when I open it up then add some water methanol injection.
