there is a guy on here with a white ss with black hockey stripe than has or had a 347 with a vortech and a 150 shot.. i cant remember his name but i think he put down like 900rwhp? my question to you is why would you need it ?
I ran a 50 shot on my 5.3 w/ boost, it spooled a little slow with out... w/o ran 10.55 @ 128, with the 50 shot ran 10.31 @ 131 I had a really shitty converter also... but it worked ok never had any problems.

well its a different set up completely but i run a "75" shot on my neon and it made over 90 horse power to the wheels, so i would say there is a bit of truth making more horse power then advertised

if i'm not mistaken, No2 acts as an oxidizer and meth act as a coolant/fuel.

Meht is just another fuel. as you are adding it mailes away form the intake it has loads of time to evaporate and thus helps cool the intake. this is why carb guys often dont bother with intakercoolers. thye are using fuel to help cool the intake charge. Alky also adds a little octane to the mixture, never a bad thing!
Speaking of octane, what very cheap, readily avalaible, perfectly safe liquid has over 10,000,000,000,000 octane?
Chris.
Nitrous will increase cylinder pressure thereby causing you to have to reduce timing or risk detonation. The additional power is mostly due to the additional cylinder pressure already present from FI and the cooling effect it has on that charge.
Meth is a fuel and has higher octane than pump gas. So it cools the charge AND raises the octane which allows for MORE timing. Some people run straight meth and others mix it with water which further ups the octane but reduces the cooling effect slightly. I'm not a big fan of spraying water into my motor though.

Im pretty sure you've got that backwards. The methanol is what adds the octane. They say water helps cool the charge better, and the methanol is simply a fuel which has a cooling affect as well.

I sprayed a 50/ 50 mix on my car during hiway runs and never seen iat past 80*.
