Anyone familar with Methanol injection?

I believe if you move the IAT sensor closer to the throttlebody and spray the mix before it and use Superchips tuning the computer will read the hotter temps and pull timing.So in reality if there is a failure the tune will still save the motor.

I have been running alcohol injection on my EVO for several months now. The biggest advantage that I see is that I can run more boost and add some ignition advance and still run the car safely with no knock. So far I haven’t seen any problems and the car is pretty quick. It would definitely help in a super charged car because it will also cool down the air entering the motor. The cost hasn’t been too bad; I use about a gallon every three to four fuel tank fill ups. I could run methanol but I am a little worried about the corrosive issues with it.

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.

Sure, fuel pumps can give out at any time. Definitely why it's a good idea to have a fuel pressure gauge in the cockpit. Now if I could have a pressure gauge for the water pump for the Snow kit so I would KNOW I had good pressure all the time then I would run water injection without hesitation and just clean the nozzle frequently to avoid clogs. Does anyone know if that's possible to put a gauge in the cockpit to watch the water pump for the injection kit?

 

Not sure about the gas mileage thing.
