    Has anyone noticed having to jet richer when switching from VP alcohol to Sunoco?

    Dale, as Daryl as I know they should still require the same jetting if pure alcohol. If they didn't then then wouldn't pass a NHRA fuel test. Switching from VP M1 to VP M5 will require a jet change because of the added oxidizer.

    On two different cars I have tuned, looking back through my notes, almost the same amount of jet increase (around 25 numbers on the main) to achieve the same performance. It seems like I remember watching some NHRA Pro coverage, when pro stock changed gasoline brands that they had to run a different mixture.

    Gasoline is very different because of additives added. Methanol is meant to be 100% pure with no additives so should not be any difference from one brand to another.
