Default Re: Injection amount vs E85

Your work on ignition has been greatly appreciated here and elsewere.
Sounds reasonable that in certain conditions and suitable hardware more fuel can work well.

I am aware of the WW2 literature and have read it as well. It is just not all directly applicable in a given car engine set-up. Your ignition issue is one of them.

Could be that my experience of rich not performing well is fundamentally casued by ignition onset delays or other related issues.
One aspect that made a bigger difference for the power I was able to extract was proper mix distribution and that the fine mist actually makes it into the cylinder. Modern curved plenum runners of dry flow manifolds are a major obstacle for central injection systems.
You method is one of the ways to deal with droplet aggregation, make them very small to begin with.

Cheers
