test results

Thought i would give an update on W/M results. As some might remember i am testing with nitro methane.

So here ya go!

Water 50 %
Meth 48.5 %
Nitro 1.5 %

Any thing above 2.5 % nitro it wont mix with the water well, plus the EGT's are through the roof, i had to drop to 1.5 to get the EGT's to a tolerable range. With this mix they are running at about 50 degrees lower than straight # 2. So if your only goal is cooling this aint a good idea. Now for the fun part.

#2 -- 296 hp
#2 plus 50/50 mix water and meth -- 361 hp
#2 plus 50/48.5/1.5 -- 411 hp

Any way you look at it thats a heck of a kick from a bottle, i'v ran ten gallons and so far noticed no ill effects. Now i need an intercooler since i no longer enjoy the benifits of water/meth cooling effect.

Will the terminal diesel fever ever be cured ? I cant stop !!!!!!!!!!
