^ 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.

That is correct, 260whp was what I was around 23psi dialing in for 12.50 index class. I wasn't trying to run my quickest ET, it just happened.
300 whp at 27psi ( never ran that on good track with slicks).

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

Is it ready mixed with methanol?

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

This must be related to your location.

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

Here in Malta for $40 we get 20 litres unleaded pump fuel. I imagine 20 litres of methanol would cost $80 by least !

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?
