More oil makes more power (to a point), as well as a leaner running engine verses less oil with the same jetting.

You would need to have a LOT more oil to see a negative inpact on performance. Going from 50/1 to 20/1 is not considered to much oil IMO. Not that I would run either 50/1 or 20/1 in a Methanol mix.

One quart to five gallons is 20/1. A ratio right cup is the best way to mix fuel. I run 28/1

Always runs great, and dont need a ratio rite, 1 quart per 5 gallons takes the guess work out of it.
