RE: Boost cooler is in!
most windshield washer fluid is water & methanol (stay away from anything with de-icer in it). it acts as an intercooler for your car and also an octane booster. thus, allowing you to run more timing. 
you can buy snow performance's 50/50 mixture from their website, which has half methanol and half water. the cheap blue stuff for $2 or less at gas stations (-20) is 70/30 mixture, which works just fine. you can either tap your existing windshield washer resevoir or put the tank in that they supply. given the existing one holds more, i just had mine tapped. putting their tank in also requires a battery relocation.

how much do you think the methonal kit will add to a car that already has an aftercooler? i still think it should do something cause the air will be cooler yet..... do you think i would hit 460rwhp? also.... im getting a new tranny and flywheel and everything on tuesday... thats less drivetrain loss so more rwhp... would that matter with the motor blowing... im intrested in this water injection...
