Default RE: Methanol???

Im looking into running one of these methanol systems when i get my SC as well, im just looking for many opinions. If it's without a doubt better than innercooling and has no negative effects on the engine, i think this is the route im gonna go

Does it have any long term effects on the engine at all?

351 seems low. how much boost are you running?
Tell me about it. That was w/ 10psi. I have since put a 14# pulley on it. I know it needs to be retuned. That will be coming up in the next couple of months as soon as the weather starts to "lighten" up. Remember though, it still the stock block heads and cam. I know just the heads alone are starving the motor for flow.

Sh*t I know what you mean. ha ha ha. I'm in the same situtation as you in that right. Damn restrictive heads. Can't wait to have my Gt-40's finished from porting and polishing.

some people say it destorts engine parts but ive yet to see it. tell that to the guys who run their cars on nothing but methanol. it will eat through rubber and plastic if you let it sit on it long enough

I used to race karts for state that ran on meth, and u couldnt store it with it in the engine, you had to flush it with gasoline.

cars run on gas, so it seems like that little amount of meth wouldnt do anything

do you guys think its safe?
