methanol without a s/c or turbo practical ? has anyone seen a setup using methanol injection without forced induction?
Can gains be achieved ? Is this practical? If yes, what precautions are necessary ? Any input / feedback is appreciated.
Thanks !

what would you estimate the power gain if installed on a n/a LS-1 or set like mine in my profile signature ?

I get street tune + dyno tuned, what would you estimate for HP
gain on my n/a set (see my signature for current set-up) up by
adding a methanol injection with a good tune to support it?

is there any type of automatic safety fall back option inherent in the Snow Kit if it fails (or runs empty) ? I'm in South Florida and heat can be a major factor almost year round I am considering the Snow Performance Stage 1 Boost Cooler N/A kit for octane enhancement and cooler intake charge.

wow - that Holden 383 with a TC78 sounds raw - very bad *** build man - congratulations I'm envious for sure - not many F-body;s around here putting down that much power (they;re very few an far between) - I would be surprised if snow performance doesn't have some type of safety feature built in if the water/methanol tanks runs dry or system fails? Looks like I've got some homework to do to familiarize myself with safety concerns like the one you mentioned which would obviously be a disaster.

Dont do it with nitrous. Because of system pressure. You need to run a fixed amount of fuel pressure with nitrous, this means you need a regulator and run a return style system. And all the parts of the system have to be stainless or they'll rot. This is much easier to do with fuel(C16,C12,etc) and a whole lot less expensive.
On NA apps, only if you have ultra high compression and trying to run the car on pump gas. We do it off MAF as well.
Dont do it because its hot outside. Thats a waste of money, time, tuning, etc. You wont pickup any power from it. meth is an octane improver.. with secondary benefit of cooler IAT.
