Hey im wondering how running alky does on those of you who have 400ex's that have ran alky. My buddy we stayed with at the dunes had a 440 2-stroke polaris, which was quick. He put alky in it and that thing hauled *****. I want to know how alky does on 400ex's. Can you truely tell a difference as performance wise besides the smell of it burning. Thanx...

I have never seen a 400 on alky, but I have been around other quads on it & it makes a big difference.

It doesnt make as much difference on a 4 stroke as it does on a 2 stroke but you can definetly tell the difference!! Im fixing to put mine on alky, as soon as i get it running right

Yeah Chad I was thinking you should switch to alcohol too, since you're only making what, 65hp?

I dont know how many hp its making!!! RIght now its probably only about 35-40!!! And thats with a blown head gasket!!!! It pulls as hard as my 416 did right now with a blown head gasket!!! Thats the difference the 505 made!!!

Hey Z400ex,
Just buy a Z and u won't need alky. Unless you just want to drink it after the race!

I ran alky on my 13:1 416 and it worked great. John at www.ftzracing.com can help you with setting it up.
