Boost juice is 49% methanol/51 % water, not 100% methanol.


Why do you guys go through so much trouble to get meth when you can get denatured alcohol at home depot. Readily available no hassle.
Denatured alcohol is mostly ETHANOL. Denatured with something like 10% Methanol so you cant drink it.

Bought 10 gallons early this year. Single nozzle system. I still have ~4 gallons left. That's after ~5-6 racing events and some occasional street fun.

I know. I didn't know he needed 100%. OP: what is the car tuned for? 91 + Booth Juice is like running 100 octane when it is in use. I guess it depends on your tune.
