Running all out I prefer alcohol. It runs cooler, faster, and more consistant. Alcohol is highly corrosive and is higher maintance than racing fuel. But if your going to be running a throttlestop I would advise running gas carb, so that you can run a nice under the carb throttlestop. I'm running a terminator on alcohol and I have to run a inline throttlestop. I think that the under the carb duel butterfly TS is best.
