I agree that a properly set up carb or injection won't milk the oil....much, and if your good enough to get it set up correctly right out of the box, which you apparently are, then SWEET! I've seen hundreds, yes hundreds of people changing the oil on their methanol fueled cars at the track after each event, and most of the oil looks like a milkshake. Perhaps milking isn't the correct term. You'll get enough fuel in the oil to eventually damage bearings, not to mention corrosion in the rest of the fuel system. Yes I know, if you maintain that stuff, keep the cell full, oil the pumps when empty,etc, most of that can be dealt with. My point is, on a pro street car, which this is, the additional maintanence is too much for the benefits of alcohol. You'll still be freshening the engine every season or a least replacing bearings: unless you feel lucky.....
