No pics but here is the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpOCaGYyrOs Winthrop Harbor to Chicago and back north to Racine and back to Winthrop in about 60 minutes driving time. We did stop for a water break in Racine.
I cruise at 100-120 mph at 3 pounds of boost 4500 rpm at 2/3 throttle. Saves the engine that way. If I am at 8 pounds of boost or more I am going quite fast and not sure where I could stay in the throttle that long or even want to. I did use a fair amount at the Poker Run because of working the sticks in the water condtions.
Michael1 you are correct.

Brad,as far as running "windshield washer fluid" in your exspensive motor,I will re-state what I said again in case someone misunderstood this,A local supplier (super-flite oil co) sells 55 gallon drums of methanol alcohol,it contains no water,dye,soap etc, just typical industrial methanol alchohol. It's mainly used to mix windshield washer fluid to keep it from freezing but can be used for whatever you would use methanol alchohol for,the local drag and circle track guys have bought it this way for years for their motors,its no better or worse then what your getting because its the same stuff,Smitty

This is cause.....Gasoline is for washing parts.
Gasoline is semi crap fuel.
In racing the only reason anybody uses gasoline is because the rules mandate it.
I believe (don't quote me) methanol is the equivalent of 116 octane gasoline.
And it cools your pistons, valves, etc. Although, it is corrosive to certain metals.
