How long does the bottle of Meth. last? Like if someone left the tune the way it is and drove it daily?

We used the factory washer fluid tank. We just got the car finished so I can't honestly say how long it lasts. But it only consumed a couple of ounces on every dyno run.

Widebands typically don't read below 10:1 if that tells you anything.

On our LS1 we are using the stock washer fluid tank, and supplementing with meth at 13 psi and the tank lasts about 10+ full runs.

With us it usually doesn't help the widebands life with real rich conditions, also make sure to keep it heated.

slowhawk I have seen a buick turbo use up to 10 to 12 oz on one 1/4 pass but I also had it on a mustang years ago and it would last forever. Some cars dont need very much and I would think an ls1 @9psi shouldnt need that much.

On my Bu-hog, the alcohol can last up to 3 weeks if I'm not on the gas. I've gone one weekend though where I had to refill it...while cruising the blvd. Depends on how much you hit the "GO" pedal.

At 13psi of boost I barely use any. We are just lightly misting the air charge and I am guessing we have at least 10 WOT full runs and dozens of other WOT blasts and I have only used maybe a 1/4 of the tank and it's a lil less than a gallon.

That is awesome for STOCK heads, Cam and exhaust system. Starting to break the myth barriers.
Great job, and good luck in the future.

EDIT: Question: Is that the base STS kit with an Alky injection? i.e. Was not an upgraded turbo?

That's right. It is the base t-60 STS kit with methanol.
