Just to back up what DEUCE_454 said. Propeller driven airplanes use AWI (a mix of water and methanol, 80/20) to boost performance. The Metro I used to fly gained 100 shp when it was used for take off. Then again that was in a TPE3311G-11U turbine engine that turned at 41,550 RPM. Not sure what the gain for you would be but it does work and it's great on those hot summer days.

yes, water/methanol is a great mix. One: water is a detenation deterent

Two: methanol burn cold. Lower intake temps = more air molecules

I thought I read that someone was using windsheild washer fluid. I was just curious why you'd use that instead of RO water?

Id also like to know which is best to run. I get my car back tomorrow with more boost, so I'm curious what is the best thing for my WI and where to get it.
