You are correct, the windshield washer fluid we have here in CA doesn't contain methanol.

They do in the concentrated form, we do jobs for granitize which makes car car products for a lot of big names along with their own stuff, so i have 6 or 7 cases of it that i plan on using.

Oh I thought you were saying to put a diesel kit on his car... I have one on my 6.5 liter and it helps with fuel economy and a little power cuz I can run more boost.

Diesel not only benefits from lower temps but its also extra fuel for them as well, ive seen 100rwhp increases on standard meth kits with a 7.3l diesel

Well the poor ol 6.5 Indirect Injection Detroit didn't get nearly that much power but it was a nice addition. I only use the stuff if I am towing something. Usually it's not much, just a trailer full of dirtbikes but it keeps things at a nice temperature. Very good addition.

I plan to add it in the aid of the 50lbs i am running now, would clean up the unburnt fuel nicely, should put me in the 700rwhp/1300rwtq range

Haha I think my old 6.5 is cranking out a whopping 400lbs/torque haha... The ol detroit never was a powerhouse. but I'm still on original injectors, original injector pump, and original glow plugs. Quite literally all I have done is change the oil... She's been a good truck to me. I'll probably cry myself to sleep when I get a Duramax next year.

Ok, if I bore this cylinder out say 60 over stock, can I run a 30 over piston?

My choices are right now:

Run it as is (the cylinder wall is slightly pitted).
Use one of those 3 stone cylinder wall grinders... eek.
Bore out just the one cylinder.
Buy a machined block for a couple hundred bucks are transfer everything over.
Or, let the car collect dust for a year till I have enough money to do it right. If I do this I might even sell the car and store the motor/ blower for a purpose drag Camaro.

You can't use a .030 piston in a bore that is .060. The piston to wall clearance would be too much and it would destroy the piston. You could have the block checked to see if the scatches are too deep to hone out but my guess is that they are. If if was my engine I would just find another block that has already been machined .030 over.

If I were you, I'd just pick up a machined block and swap everything over. I don't see anything wrong with that at all.

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