You only mix with water because that is less explosive that straight meth, IMO. I've read that water has a better intercooling effect, but it never worked out that way for me.

Yes, straight meth does more to prevent KR that water/meth mix, in my experience. Meth is fuel. Diluted meth means less fuel.

My setup responded best to 70/30, cooling was better. I think allot depends on the setup, I think in a Blower setup where you are spraying before the intercooler the water helps with heat transfer. In a setup that you are spraying after the intercooler I think straight meth may be better. Just my opinion.

That's what I was told , and I'm glad I did , he spent bout 40 min with me on the phone answering all my questions I had at the time , what a great , knowledgable helpful guy. His kit isn't cheap , but I'm not either lol.

Thanks for the info Erik !

Yeah Julio said you won't blow out the spark with straight meth, but the seal life of the pumps suffer less life with straight meth(3-4years before rebuild), longer with meth /water mix. ( roughly 7 years or longer )

Thanks Pat for recommending Julio's kit.

I've made more power with straight meth but for dd street driving 50/50 works well and is easier on the pump, and res.
