Methanol injection?

Just wondering if anyone has tried a methanol injection kit on a high compression naturally aspirated engine? I am toying with the idea and have contact snow performance. They claim with the use of one of their kits and some tuning a 5-10% increase in Hp can be made.

Re: Methanol injection?

ive installed and ran a few diffrent types of meth injection, i like it its kinda like a saftey to high boost. ive never ran it in a na car before. i guess it will allow u to add some more timing, and cool the intake and higher octain= more power!!! snow is where its at, they work the best and have the best kits. i hate anderson motorsports version! the only thing i can tell u is try it some people have good luck and some bad. just make sure u get a big tank for the water/meth because ive had a friend run out and toast a motor.

snow is nice because of the electric pump. and big tank that u can toss in the trunk. the anderson is ran off of vacuum and the tank is small.

Re: Methanol injection?

A local runs it on his 13.5:1 LSx trans am. Its a track/street car and the tank is about 2 gallons. He also sprays a 350 direct on top tho. NA most of the time when he makes the drive to a local hangout.

Re: Methanol injection?

I want to get one of these kits and have it spray into the supercharger to boost octane and quench detonation, as well as keep the inside of the motor clean!
