Default Alcohol/Meth Injection Questions

www.coolingmist.com

This is where I have gotten my kit, and they have been a great help with things thus far. I have a boost switch when it hits 7psi of boost the kit turns on and turns off again when it falls below that. I will be running a 4 gallon custom tank that sits where my spare sat.

I will be running a TN kit here in a week or so but am going to install methanol sprayer. Should it go in before the MAF or after, I am guessing the closer to the TB the better.

Also what do you guys fill your tanks with, I have heard some people use windshield washer fluid, but there has to be something more effective.

I would say it would be around $175 for a 50 gallon drum. Im assuming its $3.50 a gallon.

I couldn't believe that because it seems like only a couple years ago I was buying it for $1/gal. So I checked VP's price guide... retail is $286 for a 54gal drum. Over $5/gal, sheesh!

Cant you just use distilled water? I thought water cools better than methanol anyways

Also, which kit did you buy? Im going to buy one of these...

Well, I got a hell of a deal then $172 for a 54 gallon drum from a local dealer, he used 2 gallons of it for his personal car, but is selling me the remainder of the 52 gallons for the 30 gallon price.

$3.30 a gallon but for me with the 50/50 mix and **** ton of distilled water it comes out to ~ $2 bucks a gallon for 50/50 meth and Ill have about 100 gallons of it.

Dealer Pricing,
54 gallons $286 plus shipping
30 gallons $172
15 gallons is $100

I will not pay shipping this time around, since the guy is just down the street from me. But everyone local is out of C16 so I might have to ship some of it, or just buy some down in FL when I visit.

Update as well, I have yet to take any pics but the local fabricator has started on my tank, it will be a 3.9999999 gallons whatever 924 cubic inch tank
sits 5.5" high and will sit perfectly in the spare tire well in the front part, with a mounting plate to hold it down and also mount the pump and valve. I will be running either -6an or -4an SS lines to the front since they will be placed under the car as per NHRA regulations. I am using a single brass nozzle right before the TB.

I am interested in what meth and tn can do on stock rev-up motor.

Anyone have pictures of their methanol setup?

I like to see how someone might have tapped to install the spray nozzle
