Default meth to fuel ratio

it said at that sight turbocalculator or whatever that it is ideal to run a 1/10 ratio of meth/fuel.
so in theory for every gallon of gas i burn i should burn like 1.25 pints of methonal if im running 10% meth.
what is the price of methonal per gallon?
also an average meth injection kit is not progressive i presume.
it probly starts at a certain psi. correct me if im wrong bc i dont know what im talking about.

thanks tyler

Last time I bought meth, about 4 weeks ago, it was 3.50/gallon. You only use it when you get into boost. Mine kicks in at 5 psi. Some spray much more than a 1/10 ratio while others spray a small amount. Some systems are progressive. The SMC kit I use is not. You just have to decide what system you want and spray it and then tune for it. If you don't have tuning and logging software it will be difficult to reap the full benefits of methanol. In your case with the non-intercooled SC it would help much more than hurt as long as you are not spraying to much.

That is correct. If you get a good tune don't change the amount of meth being sprayed. The best way to tune is either on a dyno or while logging on the street with a wideband so you can watch the AFR. A mail order tune is hard to get nailed down.
