Methanol as fuel with Nitrous

I already have the n2o set up but want to run it a little harder/safer. This is done on v8 but nobody will tell me how to figure the ratio. If anyone has any info please throw it up.

Thanks.

How big of a shot are you planning? Are you going to turn down the fuel and increase the meth or are you going to just supplement the fuel with meth to increase the octane rating.

Replacing the gas with meth in my wet shot. I'm going to use a stand alone cell for the meth not a water/meth system. For now I will keep it at 120ish shot to be safe.

That seems a lot for just a 120 shot.

Harris Speed Works was developing a stand alone to replace the fuel with meth, not sure whatever happened to it, but I would contact them, not sure anyone on here is running straight up meth. Here is a quote by nick from harris speed works:

We need to also understand that area and pressure play a vital role in determining jet sizes and or ratios. Once you're ready to calculate your jet spread just shoot me a PM and I'll get you a list. Or if I can ever get matt to figure out a way to get my calculator online I would gladly allow everyone to use it.

Already emailed them. I will post up what they tell. Just incase anyone else wants to do it.

Also I have 94xxx miles right now so I am just playing it safe for now. I would like to have to system up for Zdayz. After next deployment I plan on throwing a stillen sc on and uping the shot to about 250-300.

U dont need meth for a 120hp shot. All u need for a 120hp shot is 2-4* of timing pulled, and colder plugs. The stock fuel pump is at its limits around 150hp shot.
