Now that is awesome! Wonder if I could get away with that on my Vette without being keyed by some patchouli soaked chuckle-head.

lol thanks, i swear I thought I came up with it... guess not.

back on topic.

Would Methanol/Water injection help solve my fuel problem??? Is Meth readily available? what about ALKY?

overall goal is more boost, more power, more timing, less/no knock.

I can get a Meth/Water injection system for about 2bills and I may go that route as DD

Methanol is sorta available. It's pretty cheap. You don't want to run mixed setup (alchohol water) kind of unpredictable results, harder to tune for, not as good for performance as pure Methanol. I also think you want Methanol not Ethanol. As I recall (going on memory here) the difference is in heat exchange and methanol dissipates more heat.

It might be a good solution for a dd, because you only really use it when dipping into boost. Common on Turbo Buicks. Sean's brother has this kind of setup actually and it works pretty good.

BUT, alcohol is very hygroscopic. That is, it will absorb water vapor out of the atmosphere like a mofo. This alters it's characteristics. Worst case scenario, you tune aggressively for wonderful pure meth. Fill up your meth tank, don't really use it much, it takes on a bunch of water, you dip in hard to boost and naughty things happen. Not likely, but possible. You'll also have to keep an eye on the level of the meth tank, because if you run out during heavy boost, naughty things WILL happen. If you mix Torco, none of these problems exist, and you don't have to buy any equipment, but you got to throw it in your gas tank every time you fill up.
