Default Going to add the Meth, a few questions?

Right now Sleeper is running 17 lbs of boost with 34 degrees timing. The EGT's are borderline and retarding the timing makes them worse. After much reading I have deceided to add the Meth and a 3 bar map and really crank things up. I am going to use a Alky system and here are my questions.

I only have room for a 3/4 gallon tank. How often will it have to be filled?
Should I just use pure winter washer fluid, or a mix of some percent with water?
In setting the system up how do I prevent excess fluid from being injected and washing the cylinder walls?
If I want to leave the 34 degrees of timing, how much additional boost should do you think I can run with the meth, 20, 22, 25 or more lbs?
Any other suggestions?

Thanks

34* with 17lbs boost? wow!! that in itself is amazing. Why wont you use the tank that comes with the kit that replaces the washer fluid tank? Run straight meth. How much meth used will be determined by how much you go into boost and the nozzle/setting used with the controller, 5 gallons lasts me a few months at least but I dont run around in boost

The spark advance required on your engine is different than the ls engines we are used to. With that said I have no idea where your timing is with that boost level. If it doesn't detonate now you will be able to run a bit more boost with methanol. More methanol will allow you to make more power but also make tuning more difficult and possibly inconsistant at partial throttle (depending on which alky kit). I would love to have a meth kit with an RPM input to prevent overfueling at lower engine speed and high boost.
