Default Meth on a daily driver?

Does anyone use meth on a daily driver? How much 50/50 mix does it actually go through? How often do you need to fill it?

100% meth here on a dd....thru a AEM kit. How much meth is used, directly depends on you. I boost on average about a 7-10 times each day, and my 2 quart reservoir last about 6 month before its low and i top it off...meth is awesome btw

I did for a while. I just used 20% and filled it when I fillled the tank. Boosted when I felt like it. I used my windshield washer jug for a resivuar so I had plenty. If I knew it was going to get a beatin' then I made sure it was full before I left and brought some with me. Its really no big deal for the street. I believe its "made" for the street. It allows you to do what you were previously limited by octane to do on pump gas.

Thank you. I wasn't sure how often you need to fill it up. I just wanted a rough estimate. Has anyone here ran meth with a turbo and a wet shot of nitrous?

The only thing I didn't like about the AEM kit is the controller. The dials to set up the progressive system are a bit difficult to read. But once its set, its done. Haven't moved my dials in 4 years ... Plastic fitting attachment that you plug your lines into leaked, and I replaced it with a stainless upgrade, no problems since.

It works well. I've made a good habit of testing for correct functions via the test button on the controller prior to racing. Ive been running it for about 3 years. I'm using some line from Lowes that I found in the garden section. Its far harder and more durable than the stuff in the AEM kit.

I run the cooling mist kit on my car, i just use washer fluid good for -20 below. I may go to a 50/50 mix soon.

If your not boosted then I think it's pointless.

That would be my question. Snow Performance says you can make power on naturally aspirated engines. Is it worth it? Is the only benefit being able to run more timing and therefore make more horse power?

well okay but you don't gain the full potential and use of Methanol on a N/A car. sure you can use it for some octane and a little cooling on motor and maybe get away with a little more timing in the tune up top but if you can show me where it has huge gains on a N/A car, I'd like to know.
