Default E-85 OR Meth and 93 octane

Currently running mods in my sig. Ready for the next phase though. Should I convert to E85 or just add a meth kit? I think I have asked enough of the current system already.

I have twin 044s and 120lb injectors. I'm about maxed out right now at I'd guess 700rwhp fwiw....

Does anyone have any idea what the octane would be with 93+meth?

Three within driving distance to me...still not convenient...can buy methanol in-town...
A friend was running it and had great results...he made the swap when he started trailer-ing it to the track though...

I DO see one IN Brunswick...per this map, anyway...

Okay I guess I should have thought more before writing. What would you be looking at to run a octane of 104.5 which is e85? I am just trying to get a basic understanding if it would even work right.

I have an e85 station about 30 miles away and I go there every now and then, however in the event I need to get gas I would like to run on premium with a mix of something to equal the octane of e85.

What would be the best way to go about something like that?
