Default Making meth??

I searched and couldn't find anything, Im getting the car ready for a tune and going to go with meth injection just wondering what ppl are using for meth, is everyone just running M1 or are ppl mixing there own, I know a lot of import guys that use Heet and Denatured alcohol mix. Any ideas for good safe meth mix?

Most oil distributors will have it on pump, if you can't find it, denatured alcohol is a suitable substitute.

You can buy a 55 gal drum of methanol for $118 from an oil distributor, then mix it 50/50 with distilled water and you have an inexpensive supply.

Also mix it 30% methanol 70% tap water and a few drops of blue food coloring and you have inexpensive washer fluid.

Best bet is find a few local enthusiasts and go in together on a barrel.

I purchase 1 gallon of the blue WWF and 2 bottles of Heet. Mixed together, you get a 50/50 mix of methanol, which is the same as the Snow fluid. Cost, ~$6 per gallon, versus the Snow fluid which is now about $8 per gallon, plus shipping, to me.

Heet at the local wal-mart is about 1.60/gallon and distilled water is about $1.20, so I think i'll be using this method. $1.40 per gallon =] Ohh, and what nozzle are ya'll using, I got a SMC kit adjustable for boost and %/# of boost but I dont know what size nozzle to use and exactly where is best to put it. Keep the ideas coming though.

Are you certain? The true Heet here (99.x% methanol) is $2 per bottle, which is about 12 oz. IIRC.

I use 100% meth with my alkycontrol kit. I buy it from a local speed shop. Bring in my own 5 gallon container and they fill it up. It costs roughly the same price as super unleaded gasoline does around here.

I almost bought a 55 gallon drum from a local oil company, but found out thats a horrible idea! If your house burns down and they find a 55 gallon drum of methanol in your garage, your insurance aint gonna pay jack **** most likely. Its not worth the risk of storing such a container dude.

Ive heard of problems with washer fluid alone clogging up jets and stuff. Idk if its true but it stands to reason its not real good for your internals, just look at the holding tank when its empty, it always has some kind of residue on it
