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.

PM bgn8711 if no one answers. He should know the best place and price to get it. Sean might be able to ask him if he talks to him soon.

HP numbers are good and all, but they are like asking someone how much they can bench. What difference does it make if I can still kick your ass?
