^ Agreed. It's very inconvenient to maintain the proper fuel ratio for your tune that way. However, the tuner may not intentionally be using a band-aid. He just may not be familiar with the advantages of WMI. I sure wish I knew about it 6 years ago. Tuning my tC was difficult.

For the 115 trap, I would suspect around 260 wheel judging by weight of car. 400 is way off for that trap whomever suggested that. It's different to see someone do mods to these cars to this extent.
I've been running WMI for a few years and over 700 WHP on my Supra. Best thing I've done. Car makes more power on Race etc... Good job Running WM is great and you can tune accordingly so essentially, lower octane won't really matter. |

Yes, I use peak windshield washer fluid. The one rated at -20 degree, which is 35% methanol.

^ I've seen that too.
I buy 5-gal methanol buckets and share with my friends.

Yellow Heet (left) is 99% methanol. Great way to buy smaller amounts.

^ Google is an excellent source to answer that question.

I get 5 gallons of methanol for about $40. That would last me well over a year if I didn't share it. Considering what you have into your car (and that you aren't going to race every day), I don't see how that's expensive at all. It takes me a full race day on road course (not drag racing), to use most of a gallon. Drag racing hardly uses any at all. The spray doesn't change volume, it either sprays or not. So 12 seconds of water/meth per pass is a VERY small amount for drag racing. If you want me to try and sneak you some HEET through customs, email me. LOL

I will check out for more but I don't want to tell too much people that I am going methanol. I want it to be my secret weapon Garm, I appreciate your hellp, so in case I decide to buy what is the total cost involved for at least 2 gallons? |
