I also did a little test on the windshield washer fluid with 2 bottles of heet in it. I poured out a small puddle in a safe location. Using stick matches I lit one and threw it in the small puddle. Instantly put it out. Lit another match and held it at the edge of the puddle for a couple seconds then touched the edge of the puddle. Put it out when it touched the puddle. Lit a third match and held it at the edge of the puddle and it did eventually light after several seconds. It continued a slow nearly invisible flame until I shook the puddle around a bit in the container it was in and that put it out.

So windshield washer fluid with two bottles of heet is flammable when exposed to a direct flame for a period of time. It took maybe 5 seconds for the 3rd match to ignite it.

You'll have to split gallon of washer fluid into two jugs (otherwise overfill...) and add about 2.25 bottles of heet to each half gallon to get 50%.

Correct. Two bottles of heet will not fit in a full gallon jug. What can I say I'm already addicted to meth. Only a 3 gph nozzle and already wanting to go bigger...LOL. Took the car for a little drive to get the idle tune and some drivability cleaned up after the intake change to the BTR. After getting up to temp and driving a bit the aluminum intake was definitely hot to the touch. On a second drive getting into boost and getting the meth to activate I noticed my IAT actually drops below ambient temp. IAT was never really an issue with the procharger and large air to air, but typically it would slowly climb from about 10 above ambient to maybe 15-20 above ambient on a similar pull. Now it actually starts to drop and after a drive getting into boost a few times when I stopped the intake was cool to the touch. After shutting it down and letting it sit a while the intake would be hot to the touch again. So the small amount of meth is definitely doing what I wanted it to.

I still say that even running 50% ethanol if I could only choose one ethanol or pump + meth I'd still go ethanol all day every day. After using meth on top of ethanol I'm now convinced that using both is the way to go.

Since you're running E you don't really need the octane of the methanol, you need the water to pull the heat. I'd stick to straight WWF in your case.....and switch to an M10 nozzle

I figured having a little higher methanol content would allow me to trigger it on earlier without issues. I'm not as concerned with running a large nozzle as I as getting it on early at as low of boost as possible. Now I have another issue. Car is running great except I noticed some of the shift points seemed a hair off. I noticed on a log from today is shifted early at wide open around 6200 rpm and 15 psi just at the max of the map. I was shifting at 7000-7200 and seeing 20 psi on my guage and on the log it would flat line about 15 since it was maxed. I figured I might lose a pound with the intake, but the early shift got my attention. I was only hitting 70.4% throttle. Blade physically moves the full range and hits the stop. Tested with scanner and car off I'm at .5 volts at 0% and 4.5 at wot and reads 100% throttle. Took it out for another drive and running great get to a safe spot and sure enough only 70.4% throttle. Seems like the power is there and the only thing it is effecting is shift points. Always something.
