Water/ Methanol Injection?

mark sweetser · 05-07-2005, 02:55 PM

Does anyone have any thoughts on water/ methanol injection on our cars? Haven't heard anything about it before. Saw an ad for Snow Performance http://www.snowperformance.net/ in MM&FF... looks like a good deal. I know HP #'s are always inflated, but 30 or so HP for $300-$400, cooler intake charge, ability to increase timing and boost w/ reduced chances of detonation sounds pretty good to me. Any thoughts?

Your set-up just might get some use out of something like that...

The HP gain numbers are not that far off. I can't "prove" the results on a gasoline motor, but in actual testing we did on a diesel (Dodge) the gain was real. EGT's dropped and he was able to spin another 250 RPM. In a couple of weeks we are installing it on a 01 Lightning that runs a Stage II JDM Engineering engine. Since we have all of his before baseline data and track performance, we can make a real business case.
