you know I will be the first to answer.

Its what keeps my car working.

Basically full on from 4psi. 50/50 mix usually but at the end of the year 60% meth

Not really. I have Holley HP EFI which self tunes...so maybe it is actually. My fuel trims get adjusted automatically to the target AFR. So if I spray more meth is adjusts accordingly. Soooo worth the money

ya gotcha...basically then the tune adjusts for the increase in octane/cooler intake temp?

does your setup have a knock sensor?

yup it uses factory knock sensors. Holley HP EFI look it up. Best money Ive spent on the car

water meth can bring the octane rating up to the equivalent of race gas
what Im trying to do is get my heap running good on a stock A9L...I WILL do it btw
Im 90% there...just every so often I get bit in the azz by trace amounts of detonation
ran three seasons without issue on Shell 91...its a long story...really long
91 really dosent cut it...its great fuel...just not for what Im doing...so I will be
playing with water meth next summer

Painless kit...which is discontinued but uses most of the same components as the devil's own kit which is quite good

Devils own is a very good kit from what Ive read

Im building my own...theyre pretty simple

everything on my car is a back yard build...so why do anything different?

I've read water/meth is beneficial to run in N/A setups. I was considering trying it. How are the Snow Performance kits with the MAF injector setup? Is this something that can be turned on & off? I'm assuming water/meth & nitrous isn't a good combo to run.

That's the reason water or meth + boost= good times..

I run meth on my DD Mazdaspeed 6 and i will probably be putting it on the 2.3l turbo Mustang next year. I have run 50/50 as well as straight meth, on the Mazda i haven't noticed much of a difference between the two. In the stang that will be running higher boost (up to 25 psi) i will be testing with both a 50/50 mix and a straight meth and see which nets the best results.

*IF* I can ever get past 15psi without hurting parts I have my water/meth kit installed also ... mine will be a true 50/50 as I but methyl Hydrate by the gallon and distilled water I have found that using a hydrometer that windshield washer fluid can range drastically on the mixture I will have a specific reading once I mix my first batch up on my own
