or you can go to you local autozone and get heet gas line antifreeze the yellow bottle its meth. or some washer fluids come with about 50% meth which will work too.or snow perf also sells gallons of permix 50-50 water meth.

You need to decide on what your going to run, straight meth or a ratio, and tune for it and stick with it, unless you retune for a diff ratio. Straight meth is the best octane boost and it cools well. I tuned for straight, its a great worthwhile mod, lots of peace of mind.
