Recommend meth kit
I’m getting timing pulled on my Edelbrock E force on long pulls due to IATs 140*+. I just want to look into a meth kit that will work on my blower just for cooling not fueling. I heard some kits use the windshield washer tank. Thanks

I used 100% water instead of 50/50, as water is supposed to be more effective than meth for cooling the intake charge. Unfortunately for a PD blower this had minimal effect, I did log IAT temps via HP Tuner scan and saw only a 7-10F lower temp during a 10sec WOT pull

PD blower with alky m10 spaying 100% methanol got my temps down from the 150's to the 130's during 2-4 gear pulls. I also have my nozzle pointing straight at the TB and not down at the intake piping.

I agree on the 100% pure meth but I am using two 10,s direct into the T.B. Robert

Magnuson and Alky Control 70/30 Meth/water for two years now. I had read that you should use 100% when spraying through a PD blower but,
I didn't want to lose the affects of the water cooling, and at same time, keep the mix a bit safer to handle. Just my limited experience thoughts. YMMV and all that...
I also noticed that adding a high flow air filter helped keep IATs down a little longer...
I was noticing during a dyno pull that even with the meth setup, the IATs would eventually start to climb again at the very end of the pull.
Adding a high-flow air filter helped reach the end of the dyno pull without IATs climbing up again.
In case it helps anyone.

I’m using 2 nozzles 10 and 15. In past builds I always used 50/50 mix, but now at 100% meth on the vette since I’m using it for fueling at 640whp to be safe and don’t have hptuners to really log like I did with other builds.

I agree no way that 100% water will do better than meth I use 100% meth. Also here OP the above kit is the only way to go on this.. Robert
