However I would have to disagree on the more water = more cooling idea...ever spill methanol on ur skin by accident...cold huh? Save your time and money and spray 100% methanol. just becareful of rising egt's. since its a higher octane you can run leaner with more timing....but methanol has a much richer stoich ratio which means you will actually be running chemically leaner than what your wideband may be reading. And this in turn can cause high egt's. AND NEVER LET IT RUN OUT.

Methanol doesn't cause higher EGT's. I have been running Snow Performances Meth injection on my Dodge diesel for 2 yrs. It lowers my EGT's by as much as 300 degrees and boosts HP by up to 70. The whole reason I put it on my pickup is for pulling the high elevation passes in CO with an 18,000 lb trailer. I'm pushing 45 lbs of boost and my egt's were shooting through the roof with the steep grades, the meth injection lowered them back to acceptable ranges and helps me pull the 12,000 ft passes at 70 mph
with a trailer. I am using winter formula windshield washer fluid that is rated at -25 degrees. It is aprox 50% methanol and it can be bought for as little as 99 cents a gallon. Don't use the -30 degree formula, as it contains glycol with the methanol. Check the label.
