what are you guys mixing for a good 51/49 mix? I have been running some -20 blue washer fluid, but it doesn't say how much alcohol is in there. I want to dump some heat in, but I need to know the -20 ratio first. Does anyone run that boost juice or a similiar product? Worth the extra couple bucks?

I use methanol and water.

I'm pretty sure the blue fluid is 30/70

check out snowperformance website they have all the information

I was able to find a local race shop that sold straight methanol. Thats the best way to go, I'm sure someone in your area has it.

bulk? mmm, thats thinkin. mind if I ask what you paid? can you transport that over state lines?

I've been adding 2 bottle of Heet to the -20 washer fluid. I think that gets it close to 50/50. Haven't found meth around here in anything less than a 55gal. drum yet.

Remember if you do get methanol you have to store it in a nice moist cool place like a basemement...

The 2 bottles of heat, 24ozright? 1 gal of the blue -20? I guess im generalizing, assuming all -20 is the same, ? from napa, that is a 7 doller a gallon cocktail. Ace, what kind of egt drop do you see? Any difference in water to meth ratio's? Im still trying to dial everything in perfect..

i was told by loch on this fourm that you can use ethanol and water but i have yet to try it.

Yeah, it's been running me about $6/gla, but I don't use it much. My vari-cool comes on at around 16psi boost, so it's not spraying unless I'm towing or romping on it. The only anecdotal EGT info I can relate is before I had the W/M I could drive EGT into the red zone towing up some of the long grades here. That's what initially prompted me to install it. I haven't been able to do that since, and I suspect it would now safely run WOT until the W/M resevoir runs dry. I'm using 2 Coolingmist .380 nozzles.

Now I have to call Snow Performance down in the springs - thanks "J."

I use methanol and water (50/50%) as well. As such, I don't see any net cooling effect on the EGTs.

Methanol was about $3.25 a gallon around here some months ago.

Aren't you running twins now, David?

BC847

Yup.

I've got an 8 gallon tank and usually split a 5 gal can of methanol with my boss - 3 for him and 2 for me. I mix it 50/50 and add enough windsheild washer fluid to give it color. I figure this get me to about a 51/49 mix. I have had no problem finding sealed 5 gallon cans of methanol - price has been an issue. The last price I was quoted was $76.00 for 5 gallons - a little steep.
