Default Standard Water/Methanol Injection vs W/M Port Injection

Had a thought earlier and figured id run it by the guys.

Im slowly gathering parts for my truck and was looking at a intake manifold with 16 injectors. Holley 300-624

After reading about folks thinking standard W/M injection nozzles prethrottle body had poor cylinder to cylinder distribution, figured why not just run a separate fuel system for Methanol with its own injectors and port injection.

Snow performance nozzle selection guide shows one would need a 20GPH nozzle for 1000hp/21-25psi boost.
Single 20GPH nozzle = ~135LB/HR Methanol.
Divide for 135LB/HR by 8 individual injectors that comes out to ~17LB/HR per Injector
So if one were to get the cheap 50# Flex Fuel injectors they would flow plenty of fuel and have a pretty good spray pattern. Ive tested the 50# injectors down to 15psi and their pattern is very impressive.

Think its worth a try?
Ive already got the Dominator ECU so up to 16 injectors isnt a issue. And i already have a Holley W/M injection pump and setup so i can put that on and do a comparison.

Do it. Many high HP builds I read about run port injection

Im trying to figure out which pump to use. Thought about pump rated for E85 and see how it does.

I think Atomic did something similar in an intake spacer, he did some testing with different pumps and flow rates if I remember. Maybe he will chime in with some assistance.

Parish8 (Jim) was talking about wanting to do that last year on Camaro 6 forum. Not sure if he ever did. Do it!

I couldn't find the post with parish talking about his W/M injection deal. I got some the cheap 50# flex fuel injectors and they all flow within 1.8% on the flow bench using mineral spirits as a test medium. Got my old FIC 80# injectors that i ran for years in my ole turbo truck and checked them to make sure they were still flowing good. Now I need to order the intake and some engine parts so I can get the L33 ready to go in the truck.

Pre Turbo
Post Turbo

Just need some time to get everything on the truck.

You know I think Jim posted in my thread about port on my 16. It was my turbo build on Camaro 6. Like I said Idk if he ever did anything or if Choda did either...he's on here and Camaro 6. I absolutely love your posts. Wish we were close in proximity. Seem to know your stuff. I'm an AC guy for 50 years.
