    That is impressive.
    Notice how it smokes heavy black only when the engine is unloaded. Look before the start, no load and heavy smoke, immediately goes white when it leaves hard under load and slowly goes black as the car gains speed and unloads the engine. :idea: :idea: :idea:
    Another alternative fuel that would be fum to mess with would be CNG. It will not detonate no matter how much compression or boost or both.

    Your right info, in a perfect CNG fueled monster there should be none.
    But the slightest bit of contamination in the fuel and your octane goes out the window.

    Wow :jawdrop: :jawdrop: :jawdrop: :jawdrop:
    What type of contamination? solids messing with regulators? Shitty gas? moisture?

    Lots of stuff,
    To start with
    1. Coolant from your engine
    2. Oil from the CNG pump wich is not on the vehicle
    3. CNG Supply, During the winter it gets diluted to keep the preasure up in the main lines.
    All in all though its very reliable and your parts stay clean until they melt.
    You can run as rich as the metal your using dictates. that is over fuel all you want until it melts.

    Actually, the black smoke is fuel with not enough air. It's only like that because he is on the trans brake and on the throttle (full load, not enough boost yet). Loading it up at the line produces black smoke until the boost comes up, which is when it goes somewhat clear/grayish, about 60' out. It goes blacker again at the other end as the RPM goes up and he can't get the airflow through that 24v head.

    Shows how much I know about diesels. :notam: :notam:
    Maybe some head work is in order?
