I've been reading up on WI and the findings listed show that there is little or no beneficial gain from running more than 50% methenol to water when injecting it in the engine as an anti-detonation remedy. I know Spy is running straight Meth and I now have a good source for straight meth for my personal use, but if there is no gain for using more than a 50/50 mix I might as well make it last longer.
Does anyone have any information that supports or contradicts this information. My information is from a good but dated source: HPBooks' 'Turbochargers' Thanks for any input on this. -------------------- In Loving memory of David T Crebo

Agreed. Thermodynamics tells us that the latent heat of evaporation of water is higher than most fluids. That is why it is so good at cooling. It takes a lot of heat to force the liquid water to change state into a gas. The meth is raising your effective octane. That is why you pull fuel out while the meth is being injected.
