Boost, because sometimes atmospheric pressure just isn't enough.

Hey kids, you can distill your own ethanol fairly easily, run some to cool temps, drink some, whatevs. Yes methanol is somewhat better than ethanol for cooling properties, but you can't drink it . . .or bad things happen if you do.

NOTE: This is frowned on by the gub-ment, an added bonus!

This is 100% alcohol, not methanol, which from a few tuners I have talked to, is perfectly fine to run in a meth injection system as long as its diluted with distilled water.

Ethyl alcohol = Ethanol
C2H5OH
Makes you drunk if you drink it.

Methyl alcohol = Methanol
CH3OH
Makes you blind if you drink it.

Note the superior specific heat of vaporization of methanol.

Should have been more thorough with my use of "100% alcohol" Denatured alcohol or isopropyl alcohol can be used in a injection system with similar results.

I have about 400 gallons of methanol at work I can tap into from time to time if I need to. Plus one of the companies we deal with carries it too, so I'm sure I can get it fairly cheap if need be. The expensive part is the actuall kit itself, which is one of my future purchases. I like the AEM progressive kit the sell, which I want a progressive kit.
