Boost-n-Juice Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 It's been around since the 30's but www.snowperformance.net is on to something with new applications from diesel truck to fox body stangs. A 50/50 mix of methanol/water is basically 120 octane. In this months Mustang magazine with a '04 Cobra with a bigger blower etc was making 450ish and with the addition of snow kit saw a 78hp gain, with a safe 11.5/1 afr. If they didn't run out of spark, they would have seen more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye1647545503 Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 I am most likely going to run it at high boost on the shelby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 I've sold the nitrous kit and will be going to meth injection also smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye1647545503 Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 also I have been told that cheap washer fluid is a 50/50 mix of meth and water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 Yea ,it kick's ass.But go for the larger tank, or just use the factory washer fluid bottle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 I am going with alcohol, which is almost the same thing just not as much octane. But met/water and alcohol injection are the wave of the future till something better comes along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razorback Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 There are pros and cons. I really considered it for my car, but the fact of the matter is that the nozzle can clog or the pump can fail, and going down the track shifting at 7 grand and having the water injection system fail is the last thing I want to risk happening. Intercoolers are more expensive, but safer. I love the idea of water/meth injection, but I probably won't go that route. Heard good things about it though for you guys that are planning on trying it. Post pics when you get it installed Jason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only race occasionally at Trails for fun, but thanks for the tip. I'm not sure how long I'll be keeping this car anyway so I may not do much more in the way of mods to it -- I want to sell it and pick me up a targa top C6, but prices have to fall first. smile.gif Did you get your motor fixed?

Guest mudbutt Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 We are a snow performance distributer. If you guys are interested, I could try to get you a decent price, if you wanted to do a quasi-group buy. Maybe 4 or so kits. We had a basic kit on a vortech charges 94 gt. I dont remember the exact numbers, but at 10 psi the car gained 15 or so ponys with no change to the tune. Gained a good amount more by tuning for the meth. One of the magazines did a test on a fox, and I believe they gained even more than that. Joel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind using one as a way to just cool the intake charge without actually tuning it and advancing timing. I don't trust it that much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMeanGreen Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Joel, can you get some pricing together for the Stage 1 and Stage 2 kits for a GP? I'd be in for one definitely, and we could come up with some other people I'm sure. Thanks smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post pics when you get it installed Jason. I do like your point about the pump failing or the nozzle clogging. But couldnt it be true about fuel pumps as well just giving out. I know the fuel pump would be as harmful cause the engine would just shut off, unlike if your relying on the meth injection for power and A/F. Doesnt the addition of the water/alky/meth help with gas mileage? On my old Spearco water injection kit i vaguley remmeber the directions mentioning better gas mileage.
