Default need advice?

I just had my PTS twin turbo kit installed and i'm having a devils own alke kit installed as well, now my question is what is the best mixture to run in the alke kit? I'm new to this and need some advice. What is the formula and which mixture is the best? I am going to be getting it dyno tuned in a few days and I want to make sure I have it ready to go when I get it tuned. Any help would be great. ILL be posting pics here soon and hopefully video if I can figure out how to do it. I know with all these subject matter experts on here someone can help me. P.S. Try to break it down Barny style, this is my first corvette, turbo vehicle, and meth kit, but every time I log onto the forum I learn something new. You guys are awsome. Thanks in advance Jason.

100% meth. Mixes are a PIA.

I thought PIA was "pain in the @ss" Like PITA.
My context clues say this is not the case.

How about washer fluid? Winter blend has more than 50/50 mix. It has more methanol..

No, your original inclination was correct.

Default thanks

Thanks everyone for taking the time to answer my thread. The pics are on the way going to be a couple of days till I get them downloaded and on here. It looks awsome though I might be alittle bias though. So I should go with a hundred percent meth huh? Is there any drawbacks with doing that? If so what are they? thanks again for the advice and ill be posting the pics very soon.

Not that I can think of, provided your meth kit is capable of supporting 100% meth (proper braided lines).
