Hi,I'm planning on running 25psi boost and was thinking of adding a Snow Performance stage 2 methanol system.Has anyone used this?Thoughts and ideas would greatly be appreciated

Works if you are stuck using pump gas. A good intercooler and race gas works better.
I have had decent luck using meth injection. I used it more for the charge air cooling and a *little* added safety for the engine just in case I got bad gas (it was a street driven car). I used to live in Florida and during the summer I could do a hard pull, pop the hood right after and there would be condensation on the intake from how cool it was. On the dyno it did not make any appreciable difference, but as I said, I wasn't using it for its power potential.
I have ran safely up to 24 PSI on BP 93 Premium Gas on a TIII, I am not sure how well this translates to an 8 valve.
This is a street car no race gas.I'm using the big NPR Izuzu intercooler
I had meth on an 87 Buick T Type that I was boosting pretty heavily. Sold the car to a kid and he shut it off for some reason. Was racing a Vette and BOOM! El roddo through blocko.
It works and it's cheaper than race gas for a daily driver; you don't even have to run methanol, distilled water at $1/gal or less works great by itself but in B.C. it would be wise to run 50/50 so it doesn't freeze. Only downside is if it quits working for any reason, then your engine is toast, so reliability and idiot light fail safes are important.
Is this with or without meth injection?Quote:

Dang I wish I could get that kind of boost. I fight detonation at 18 psi and e85 is near impossible to find around here. What's your secret?Quote:

when i had a jerry rigged water/alky system, i could push 25psi with no knock.
and it was ghetto. fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, vw cold start injectors, hobbes pressure switches, windshield washer fluid. but it worked for the summer i had it on the car.
