Tim, Just thought I'd stick my oar in at this point - I have tried the above - Water and Meth works great, makes the engine feel fantastic - you need to put a bucket-load in, but anyway the blue book forbids it (nothing other than fuel may be mixed with the air as an oxidant or something), and therefore when I began using mine for competition i took out the meth and just used water. Sorry - but it doesn't work! I get much better results now by using the same system, but instead of injecting the water into the engine I just spray it on the intercooler - makes for MUCH better IC efficiency - and doesn't take up valuable space in the combustion chamber which I can now use for more air and fuel!

This is despite the fact my I/C is still woefully inadequate and probably costing me nearly 100hp.

Anyway, that's my 2-penny worth, Hope to see you soon!
