planning on doing the same thing man, it’s a $100 and compared to the money we throw at these cars it’s just a no brainer for piece of mind and staying proactive.

Just curios though how often do you drive yours and how much meth would you say you use in a years time? Rough estimate that is? Might be a better measuring meter with xx amount of 100% ran through the pump = send it off for the re-work. Or would you change the frequency of sending it off with 50/50?

Running meth mixed with a little windshield washer and my pump has giving no problems. Been running for about 5 years.

But I know,, everyone gonna say running pure meth better..... that's why I usually don't even mention this.

Just run 50/50, or whatever if you want to keep windshield fluid. Working 99% as well.

As for why run e85 and meth? One is a great octane adder/fuel, the other is a great octane adder/chemical intercooler that lowers IATs.

cheapest and easiest way to gain some power and solve any high IAT issues, if you are even having them, would be smaller blower pulley and a meth kit with a single nozzle for IAT cooling.

93 Octane Unleaded Fuel and Meth Injection is my answer. Contact Julio at Alky Control he is the best. Should make in the neighborhood of an additional 40 to 50 RWHP with ALKY Control Dual Nozzle Kit and a Good Tune.

I turned my meth kif off after switching to e85, it doesn't seem to be a necessity like it is with regular pump gas

[QUOTE=Edbon;1598785493]
Edelbrock says not to use meth as it strips the rotors
[/QUOTE

I had read that too but thought I heard somewhere on here that people ran meth with eForce and didn't have any issues. E85 seems to be getting harder to find, less flex fuel cars being made and the bad pub makes me worried it will go away. You spend $$$ and in 2-3 years you can't find it. This is why I was thinking about meth but then I read the don't do it with eForce. This is where the confusion on what to do comes in. It is not a daily driver so I was thinking the meth wouldn't be a problem for a long time.]
