Meth injection
Meth injection Has anyone heard any updates on any of the N2O/Meth injection kits that a couple of the bigger name N2O vendors were working on? The last I heard, one of them was hoping to have somthing ready the last of spring/first of summer.
I'm refering to the true "plug and play", TESTED systems, not just some parts you put together and hope for the best

It really becomes a compatibilty/price issue. Meth like any alcohol dries out seals and corrodes aluminum. You would need to run teflon hoses for the meth as well as run a plastic tank. Now comes the bigger $$ part...I highly suggest not using a walbro pump with methanol. The seals are not alcohol compatable and you'll run into issues down the road. You'll have to do an alcohol compatable pump, and right there you doubled if not tripled your cost on a pump alone.
There are many benifits to running methanol and even ethanol as a fuel, but does the price difference make up for it? Such as; you'll gain the octane, quicker burn speed across the piston and a higher latent heat of vaporization which means you can run a bunch of timing because the meth burns quicker and will help pull the heat out of the combustion chamber. But like above, that all comes at a cost. Another alternative would just be a conventional stand alone and running race fuel. The only benifit of meth over race fuel really is the higher latent heat of vap. Granted with that comes more timing but, again it does become a cost issue. Honestly, in a street car, I think you'd be better off just bumping the jet size up. Keep your eyes on the board in the next couple weeks or so...We've been playing around with a set-up that's pretty slick.

As far as cost, if you already have a N2O system in place, you could use the windsheild washer tank, so the only cost SHOULD be the pump, rebuild kit for fuel solinoid with Teflon seals, (or just buy a solinoid) and a couple of very short pieces of Alcohol compatable hose (tank-solinoid - jet) so IF there are any gains at all (10-15hp) it would proably be more hp/$$ than things like a ported FAST intakes
The PRIMARY reason I was intersted in converting, was simply the "Theory" that it was MUCH better on the engine parts due to a more controlled burn. That in itself is work a reasonable investment for me.

my friend is selling his off his mustang for cheap. He used it on his 88 boosted fox and it worked great...he is getting a ic now so he doesnt need it anymore. pm me if you want me to talk to him

I have been using alky injection on both my 04 SSR LS1 and my 87 Grand National, A lot of guys didn't believe in it but they do now, The last two year I run the stock 5.3 with a super charger running 11 pounds of boost and it run 12.70's. A 4980 pound truck and got 21 mpg with the ac on and pump gas and the cost of the alky was just pocket change, I run maybe 30 run on a gallon, The Grand National stock block with a 66 turbo and 60 pound injectors run 11.18 at 120 on pump gas and alky, I have a great kit with full control over everything, On the SSR I use the washer tank and this year with the LS1 I get maybe 16 runs on a gallon, , I think it is about as good a kit as can be made, Yes you can run meth injection with nitrous and it works out fine I know some that do but mostly just to spool their turbos

If someone builds a complete kit and a update kit for guys already running N2O, and can show benifits, either hp or (for me persoanlly) relaibility and less engine stress , I think guys would buy it.
