yo ouch...mine might be 6$ also, havent checked though tbh, ill probably just go E85 because everywhere i go on a daily basis has a e85 pump close to it, if anything ill get a tune for both 93 octane and e85 and go from there. Then use a controller to choose what setup to be on..not that i really want to do that because those controllers are insanely expensive but might have too. id rather stay on e85 but if i ever get the drive to drive to like..idk, indana? id have to go 93.

You E85 guys need to go buy a 55 gallon drum with a plastic liner, they're about $40.00 in South Florida. Fill that thing up and leave it in your garage. Put an electric pump on it so you can fill your tank at home. Hell...buy two drums......

This means you can spray enough meth to do the same cooling as water without being concerned about lowering power. The fact that "any idiot can dump a load of meth in" is a testament to how well it works. As for the pumps, the meth rating is all about longevity. How many people here keep the same build long enough to worry about corrosion?
Certainly the last pumps I've used, there isnt really anything in contact with methanol that should corrode etc, internals are all a plastic type material. Although havent taken it apart recently to check.
