Amen brutha Frost! And I think Frost is busy tuning vs posting. I think he has said more than enough... LOL!

In my experience if you aren't going to tune for it and just want cooler IAT's using wiper fluid, boost juice or whatever else and don't need the extra fuel then so be it. That said I've run some decently high boost on street cars with gobs of washer fluid, did it work, sure but it wasn't ideal.

To do it properly I prefer a 100% M1 direct port setup to ensure even distribution and a tune to best take advantage of the fuel your using. I've sprayed blowers before the snout with a lot of M1, which actually frosts up during a pull, gains some boost, and allows more timing.

I agree with Frost in his testimony. I’ve seen it first hand not only in my car for testing but in friends cars at the same shop. This was maybe 8 years ago and ever since then it’s been 100% only.

Ill add my limited 2 cents.....
I run the snow stage 2 setup,
the mixture of alcohol and water from washer fluid is just fine if that suits your needs, than perfect!!
however, what is not perfect is the blue dye left over,
i havent used the boost juice, but i assume the red dye does not crust up/stain intake parts......

I just buy 5 gal of m1 and mix it with distilled water as I need it . If I run out , I have used blue washer fluid with and without heet . Sometimes, my car seems to pull timing in 3rd . Not sure if it’s the meth/ water or what’s going on . Somebody told me it might need more timing ? It’s @18* now . I have tried to lower it , doesn’t make a difference .

If it's pulling timing you don't add more unless you're getting rich knock.

And even then you dont add timing, you fix the fueling.

Does it only pull timing on the washer fluid and not when its on M1?

I should have added that i also buy the m1 and mix myself.

However, sometimes when doing hoodrat $hit on Mexican streets and i run low, ive been known to some shopping at local friendly walmart and buy bottles of heet.
Sometimes you run out of meth at the darndest times.
