I thought it was fround upon to mix M1 with E85. I wouldnt think Ethanol would mix with methanol. If i do mix it how much do u mix?

They are nearly the same thing. I'd spray as much methanol as I can. I am going to try E85 with M1 secondary injection and C16 with M1 secondary injection just to see which produces the most power and safest tune-up non intercooled.

Same here! Going to do c16 + meth first since I dont have the funds for a bigger fuel system.

Martin, how low of boost you think I can get away with just running 2 15gph nozzles and 1 15gph pre compressor on 93? I would like to lower the boost on the street and not haft to runc16

Well in class racing you can only run fuel and e85. Mixing meth in the fuel is not suppose to be happening but it is.

I wouldn't do that Delbert. You'll never be able to get your tune right. Just run the E85 straight and if you want to inject methanol or run methanol just use a secondary injection system like one from NX, Snow, Cooling Mist, Alky Control, Aqua Mist etc. etc. etc.
