Snow performance users!

What percentage are you guys using as far as amounts of water/Methanol. I found this article which states that some motors prefer, more water and some prefer mor methanol. have you guys tested this out or are you just using on mixture.

I use regular windshield washer fluid. -20. 35% methanol. I was talking to (Nitrotiger) about using straight methanol. Have to look into it first.

I would try the -30 first which is 68% percent first. i would experiment with that and see what effect that has. Some times too much will hurt your performance!

Yea its true. With methanol you are supposed to add timing. We cant add timing in our cars so it might not help. With Nitrous, you pull timing, same as with the blower, so it could equal out, but who knows, im not a tech.

Very true but you are only running a 50 shot. I would still experiment with as close to 50/50 as possible.

If I was able to keep the tires from breaking loose, and being able to spray at 2k I would definately hit the 12's. If I can get a 1.9 - 2.0, 60' I would have no problem getting in the 12's. Especially with mph at 107.
