Default What methanol!?

Just fyi, 100% pure methanol from your local hardware store does the same thing and is readily available.

Thank you guys! Just curious, what is the difference in running 100% methanol compared to a 50-50 mix? Pros and Cons?

Maybe we can learn something here.
I have been using straight meth but would like to use a little water if possible.
What I worry about is unequal distribution between cylinders.
also never really got a good look at the rotors of a few pd superchargers after several miles of meth or water/meth.
I have 3 f/i cars and would like to know as much as possible.
