This is about as silly of a question as it gets, but with a Alky kit from ECS what do I run as for fluids? I have seen people referance 50/50, boost juice, etc.... Once in place I'm just curious what the hell I put in there. Haha Anything better then the other?

Methanol is the primary ingredient. You can run straight, or 90/10 or 80/20 or 50/50...you get the picture.

When referencing a mixture or ratio, the other fluid is generally water. You would need a special tune to account for your alky kit.

If power is your only concern 100% straight is the best approach. If some power with added safety is your purpose then a mixture is a better alternative.

Safe tunes can be made for either choice if you have the right tuner.

100% meth or don't bother using it.

Thanks Tom and Terrance. Your correct T 100%. I called ECS and they told me I can get it at the track, a VP, or Amazon. I am looking now. LOL

I get mine from ERC (http://www.ercracingfuels.com/) in San Lorenzo. I have a 5-gallon jug of the juice

I just run 100% methanol and I pay too much and buy it from local speed shop Gottelli near SF airport

How much do they charge for the 5 gal bucket?

C5 LS7

You can also get it from Kaeding racing in Campbell on McGlincy. They sell it in bulk cheap so you need to bring your own container

Sweet! I'm in Sunnyvale so this is even closer. What do they charge a gallon?

teddyca

Im in Tracy so no matter what it is a road trip. My ALKY kit showed up yesterday. Now it is time to install everything and see what this C7 can do. Glad I have options for methanol.

Exotica

Teddy, I think you can buy it at Van De Pol Enterprises at the Stockton airpstrip as well. Might be a little closer than San Leandro.

I have no idea what Van De Pol sells it for though. I always got mine at ERC because I spent more time in the Bay Area than Stockton.

Thanks for letting me know about this south bay Meth dealer

Just got some Methanol from Kaading. They sell 5gal @$5/gal $27 and some change after tax for the 5 gallons. I bought my 5 gal jug on amazon, but they sell jugs there as well
