Not true, washer fluid is around 30% meth, so it will work for towing to reduce egt and for a little extra power. If you make your own or by the boost juice from snow it is 50/50. Unfortunately here in Miami they don't sell washer fluid with meth in it because we don't have to worry about it freezing here. But in a climate where they sell it might be worth a shot, but I wonder what happens to all that blue dye.

It's more than just that, but you can make your own mix using dry gas. Just don't get fought with too much because the po po will be thinking your making crystal meth!!

if i was going to be running this in something that was going to burn a lot.... I would be buying it in a 50 gallon drum.


alot cheaper then my 25 buck 5 gallon jugs... i think 55 gallons is 200ish.


i posted info on temps and amounts, but I dont thinnk this would be something worth it on a boat. just my thinking.

From VP website 54 gallon drum, if you know where to get them for $200 please tell me where because then it works for me to put the system in the boat.

M1 Methanol $486
M3 Methanol $555.12
M5 Methanol $594

You are correct form there sight.. but they also say a 5 gallon one is 53 bucks... and I buy it locally for 23-35 bucks... so maybe not 200 but under 300

Watching a non intercooled 1071 blower make 140* in the intake , and an intercooled 1071 setup make 112* in the intake, I wonder what meth would bring it down to? The intercooled setup on the dyno had prob 60 deg water flowing thru it. But what about at loto when the water temp going thru the intercooler is 85*? I would think the chemical intercooling could be more effective at bringing the charge temps down, and offer the benefit of a higher octane fuel
