Looking for info from all meth users.

I am trying to find out what mix of methanol to water I should be using. I've done several days worth of Internet research and still have not found a solid answer.

Many say 100% meth because of its octane. Others day a mix with water is best to reduce Temps and fight detonation. I found that during winter months the intake temperatures will not be hot enough to vaporize the water and may cause water to forum droplets on the intake manifold.

I am also concerned about tuning from summer to winter if using a water/meth mix since intake temperatures will affect the evaporation.

I really don't know what to belive or what is best for our platform.

If you could post what mix you run, why it's best, and what gph nozzle you use I would appreciate it.

Thank you!

I'm back down to 75/25 meth to water.
What made you go back down? I am thinking this is a good mix to go with.

Are you mixing by volume or by mass? Since methabol is lighter than water it needs to be weighed to get the correct mix.

I'm running E48, so I guess the extra octane was not really needed.  Erick at LET told be to start cutting it down a bit.

I mix by volume.  I don't have a scale accurate enough to even consider mixing by weight.

I'm jealous of the trucks fuel system. Hah.

I figured it out. Mix 1.25 lbs of water with 3.75 lbs of meth for a 5 lb mix of 75m/25w.

Any scale would do.

Water being 8# to the gallon, that wouldn't be much total volume...
I mix my meth 5 gallons at a time.

5 lbs total would be just about 1 gallon. I  know a lot of people on other forums figured out the volume method was way off. So they weigh it now. Use a bathroom scale if you want.

I could figure out 5 gallons. Assuming meth weighs around 6.63lbs per gallon. Five gallons would weigh 33.15 lbs. 75% of 33.15 lbs is 24.86lbs. So weigh in 24.86 lbs of meth and then add in 8.29lbs of water for the other 25%.

I could figure out 5 gallons. Assuming meth weighs around 6lbs per gallon. Five gallons would weigh 30 lbs. 75% of 30 lbs is 22.49lbs. So weigh in 22.5 lbs of meth and then add in 8.5lbs of water for the other 25%.

Interesting.
I guess as long as you and your tuner are in agreement, on which method to use, it won't hurt anything.
 
Are you getting the Snow Performance kit?  Maybe give them a call.  Their office is located up here in Woodland Park, so they should have a good understanding about your winter questions.

Yeah. I just want to know what works best. I guess on the cars we need more fuel so 100% is the better option.

Anyone know what our cars max boost is normally?  Trying to figure out turn on and full psi settings for the controller.

The highest I saw stock was 12.1

If they weigh different, would it try to separate after sitting for awhile?

They are miscible fluids.

Think whiskey or vodka....it's distilled pure and then cut with water to the desired alcohol content by volume.

Thx...meth still off on the horizon for me. Didn't know if the molecular breakdown would allow for them to combine.

Tuned on e85 is see 19 psi. But I'm wondering if that will be different with meth.
