opinions on water-methanol
I would like to know how my fellow bombers feel about water-methanol injection is it worth the price and is it something I should be interested in or would it just be a waste of money performance wise?

Been Running It For Years
I run W/M on both my Dodges and think it's a great bang for the buck. Adds power if you use 505/50 mix, keeps EGT in check on a highly fueled engine and also keeps the pistons and combustion chambers clean. But the kits are overpriced, IMHO. 1/4" tubing is $.25/ft. at Ace Hardware. Fittings are a few bucks apiece at McMaster Carr. Pumps are around $100 on eBay. You can cob up a homemade system for half the kit price using just a hobbes switch ($25) if you can find something cheap to use for a tank. The progressive controllers are nice, but not really needed except to support towing. I upgraded the '07 to a Coolingmist CMGS controller a few months ago. Very nice unit, but pricey.

CSIPSD has a kit on his 7.3... He loves it.. If you are looking for something to keep your EGT's under control then it's a great mod.

Yes it's great, if you don't use too much meth. I'd stay at a max of 30% meth 70% water. I am going to be be building my own kit as well. I plan to use mostly water, to aid in EGT's when towing and to keep the combustion chambers extra clean when running on WVO in my case.
I wouldn't really use meth as a power adder personally, it's an uncontrolled burn, and that is the opposite of what we're trying to achieve. |
Make sure you are mixing methanol and purified water NOT windshield washer fluid.

I been running washer fluid + heet = 50/50 W/M for four years. :w2:
