good questions!!!

The Methanol system is perfect for a daily driver as it is boost activated. We trigger it to only activate after a certain PSI so consumption is relatively low, unless you are always heavy on the throttle.

Typically, with moderately spirited driving 1 gallon of methanol lasts for 1 tank of gasoline. The methanol system never shuts itself off when low on fluid, but we do set these up with a low level light so you know to take it easy on the vehicle when it is low on methanol.

I guess I am not following you on a kit being designed for pulling. There is no design variation for how you are using the methanol. There may be companies that market there kits for pulling, but it's just that. Marketing.

We only use, tune for, and recommend systems that use 100% pure methanol (we use VP racing M-1 methanol, but any race grade methanol is fine). The 50/50 kits, or one's that use special "juices" typically use much lower end components (lines, pumps, fittings) as they avoid needing to have something durable enough to handle pure methanol. To answer your question, no, our setup will require pure methanol, anything else would be a "use at your own risk".

Now as far as the methanol, it is not designed to increase efficiency. It is designed to be able to run more aggressive tunes then you could on pump gas alone. For this reason, it really wouldn't be used for towing, as our tow tunes address that already without the need for methanol. Turning up the power that aggressively, and then using methanol to help control damage, would never be our recommendation for these trucks. I am sure even with that said we will still have people that want to. This again would be filed in the "use at your own risk" folder.

Thank you,

So would the truck always keep a meth tune on it?

I currently use the 93v2 tune, so when the meth is not activated, would it be like driving around normal on that tune?

Not sure how to word what I want to ask.. hah

I know what you mean.

There is a meth specific tune. If you don't want to run meth, you can switch to a non-meth tune and shut the power to the meth kit off.

Oops... good eye! Fixed it. Should read typically, with moderately spirited driving 1 gallon of methanol lasts for 1 tank of gasoline.

And running the meth without tuning for it will be a waste, just a FYI.

I've been looking at your kit for a bit Rick, seems good. Would have to change tuners...which sucks..lol.

Meth has a great gain on forced induction setups with no tune. You'd be happily surprised. Especially during the summer time or high heat situations like towing.

Will the kit contain a new map sensor like the sho kit as well?

I'm on the fence to become either a nitrous junky or a meth head.....lol.

jcain

well, nitrous will definately be more risky and rough on parts, unless you run a progressive shot. for performance pre cubic dollar, nitrous is king considering initial investment. but 3 hits kills a 40$ bottle fill so eventually they'll offset. safety wise, meth has a slight edge, but you can launch a motor if the meth pump fails during a WOT pull and your tune relies on the meth. but if you lose a nitrous solenoid during WOT, it'll just go rich, but if you lose the FUEL solenoid during a WOT nitrous pass you can pretty much kiss it goodbye. a fuel pressure switch "may" save you during that scenario but it might not.

i'd run a daily meth kit and a tune not relying on it, and run a meth specific tune at the track. it's all risky business, allllllllllll of it.

The meth kit seems like a cool idea. Just all the stuff I see online about the different kits is a lot to digest.
But cost wise.....
I have a dry kit already right here staring me in the face.... I just need to get my bottle re certified. I barely used it. Having a scab limits my bottle mounting options inside.

I know.. poor me... decisions decisions. There's always jato rockets.....lol
