Good morning,
For those following the thread, my Z06 will soon be in the hands of Manny, with luck this week. The 3rd component of the build will be a Alky Control methanol injection system to help lower the intake air temperature. I sort understand the whys of this but then when others started to post on anotehr thread it gave me a few more questions.
I understand that since this will be a very tune specific job that I need to decide the purity of methanol to use beforehand.
MADDOX has been sharing his experience with methanal injection with me and he's a 100% man.
Not that it is a big deal but running 50/50 and still being able to use the wipers sort of amuses me. Plus being able to carry around a jug of windshield waasher fluid and being able to buy this anywhere is sort of appealing too.
But if what I have read is correct, going from 50/50 to 100% results in a further 3% hp gain. As this is a matter of what product to fill the reservoir with and the tuning work which is done, it sounds like an option I should seriously consider.
Now my understanding is that if you use 50/50 or 100% is a decision that I have to make BEFORE the tune is done and that I can't go from one to the other afterward without having the car re-tuned which is not something that I can easily do.
So I was wondering for others of you with methanol injection on your FI system, which way did you go, 50/50 or 100% and why??
Maybe Manny can weigh in with his thoughts please.........
I sure appreciate the help!
Cheers,
Garry
