Loch, you are a madman
uhm and just who have you ever heard that disputed this ?

windshield fluid doesnt have much meth in it, look on the label and see the ratio and mix accordingly. you can also use ethynol from any paint store.

Any more updates? Did the test vehicle have bumped timing or was it stock? Good to see someone playing with fire

If you can use ethanol why not use E85? Will that 15% gasoline make a huge difference?

wait.... i thought the point of the water meth was to lower egts AND gain some power...if you add the nitro will it still lower the egt's?? like water/ methanol does......just curious not gonna try it....we have like 2 gallons of that ''HEET'' stuff in the yellow bottle....we buy it at our dollar store for really cheap by the GALLON...you can use that???

Heet is methanol, you can run it (diluted with water) in a water/meth system.

Yes the point of w/m is two fold, one to lower egt and the extra 75 hp dont hurt any. With the 2 % nitro the temps are same as not having w/m. your not gaining any egt cooling, but man that kicks nice.

i used windshield washer fluid and it didnt work. i went and bought some methanal and whoa50/50 mix is good but i tried 60/40 and it realy gives a good kick. i paid 30$ for 5 gallons and that lasts a long time because your doing 50/50 mix
