Here are my results.....all stuff done at 16.5-17.5 psi
My intercoolers are maxed.....starting line IAT 90 deg.....finish IAT 189
No intercoolers..start 90 finish 240
I have never measured AFTER the meth to see how much it helps. Today i did a few pulls on the highway. I used a Fluke thermometer/meter with the sensor in the throat of the intake where the pcv nipple is...it was slid in enuff to be right in the airstream and the meter on my windshield so i could see it. I watched IAT on my hptuners...the factory sensor is in the buttpipe. The factory sensor/fluke measurements were within 3-5 degrees of each other driving around today (no intercoolers). Got on the highway...IAT started at 95...rising to 183. Temp measurement after methanol was 82-83 degrees on both pulls. Thats a 100 degree drop!!! I was quite shocked. This is Meth at 75 psi...m10 and m15 nozzle. Soon I will try meth/water 50/50 and after that more pressure with my shurflow pump. Oh, the intercoolers weigh about 10# each...replaced with a little bypass pipe so i'd say removing them nets you an 18# weight loss

The issue with shurflo.. becuase its a shurflo doesnt make it alcohol compatible. careful ASSUMMING stuff.. and no, check valves are not needed but on rare instances. Pump has one built in, I bet its gone bad cuase you got the wrong Shurflo ..

Also make sure your pump is working 100%, this you can confirm with a pressure guage t'd inline with the nozzle's'. I run 140-150 PSI on my twins(M15+M10) and get 5 degree's above ambient at 27 PSI.

If so, send me a pump thats modded to work properly and a paypal address or way to pay for it. I may stick with just meth at 150psi based on your recommendations Julio.Onfire, i think it did pick up a little..maybe 1.5psi or so...hard to tell with my electronic controller...eboost 2...but it seems to have as the same settings now show a little more boost than before. On MY combo, i think there is more hp potential without the intercoolers on the incon kit. YMMV
