Well I would run a 50/50 mix water and methanol. Increase the timing from around 3000rpm to 6400rpm. Wouldn't it help out a lot in the summer time?

In theory it should.

But why 50/50 mix? So it would cool more and not as much fuel?


When i had the rear mount turbo, i started out running -30* WWF with 25% VP1,, try buying that stuff here in MS where it gets down to 30* sometimes, had to get my guy to order me a case.. He knew not to ask.

After towing alot with it, i went to straight VP1 and tuned it from there,, IATs dropped fast.

Its for the compression increase. Adding water to the combustion also increases knock resistance when done right.

The snow kit I was looking at buying has a vacuum controller box. So it progressively injects more water/meth based on manifold vacuum.
