my biggest concern with doing this is haveing my chip and the water methanal injection may be to much power for my tranny. i have the shift kit but i dont know if thats enough???

It's a great way to drop EGT's. I don't know about Ford trannies. Putting methanol into the water is close to the same as injecting more fuel, only it's far more likely to blow a headgasket, especially if your timing is advanced.

Does your box advance timing?

Water alone is not likely to hurt anything at any rate, and gives a good power boost and EGT reduction.

You can always water it down.

That's a hard thing to say. With a water/methanol system you can run anything from staight water to up to 50/50 water/methanol. I run washer fluid. It's about 35-40% methanol. If I want to go full 50/50 I add a bottle of Heet in the yellow bottle to every gallon on washer fluid. I spool up a lot faster just with water. I installed mine to 1. Keep my EGTs down 2. For the mileage 3. For the power. And with the tranny... I wouldn't think the extra power will torch it that fast.
