Wait, I thought the phrase was, "There are no stupid questions, just stupid people!"



Just playing. But as Harley mentioned, there are a lot of posts. Your best bet is to do a forum search, you will surely find the information you are looking for.

Most people here run pure meth.

- Meth burns clean at way richer ratios that gas 5:1 vs 14.7:1
- Meth has a higher specific heat than gas 2.51 vs 2.02 (kg * deg K)
- Meth has higher latent heat than gas 1109 vs 350 (kj/kg)

Bottom line, adding meth as a fuel causes temps in the chamber to reduce drastically. This greatly reduces the chance of detonation/knock. The end result is somewhat similar to running race gas and a really good intercooler.
