Don't do it. It will ruin the fuel system and you will get little if any performance advantage in a normally aspirated engine. If you were running a turbo, then yes you could get a significant advantage. There is a euro version Saab turbo (can't remember the model) that runs on any fuel that will make much more horsepower with alcohol compared to gas.
