Adding Methanol

[BoosTTed C6]

I have a 2018 Premier, 5.3, with a SLP supercharger and custom tune. It runs well and the blower has been on for almost two years. I am adding methanol in the coming month - an Alkycontrol kit. Curious to know if anyone has done so and, if so, what kind of gains they have seen. I am not pullying down, just tuning for meth.

I have meth on my corvette and I know the gains there but that is a radical build and this is a stock motor with a little forced induction.

Thanks in advance.

Dumb question. Just curious, back in the day the blown vette guys would actually use the windshield washer reservoir and pump to spray meth in the intake. Is that still an option?

Washer pump is not strong enough to get proper atomization but yes that is an easy tank to retrofit you can keep it functional and spray -20 in the intake and on the windshield.

We used the windshield washer reservoir but a proper pump with controller. Works like a charm. We installed a new reservoir elsewhere for the washer fluid. I wanted the washer reservoir for meth so when the washer light comes on, I know I am low on meth. Did the same thing in my Corvette (but just removed the meth because it is not needed when running ethanol.

Aquamist is my go to water-meth.
50/50, to cool intake charge & bump the octane.
my setup in my turbo'ed ricer burner, 2 nozzles right before intercooler.
I gained 39whp & 20ft-lbs at 16 psi..went from 241whp to 289whp & 223ft-lbs to 243ft-lbs
this is for my 2.0 liter.

my hi boost is 18.5 psi..so abit more whp & ft-lbs..

I forget the pump specifications, but more than enough pressure to spray a fine mist..
