Ive ran methanal for a few years in a 2 stoke motor sand drag app, and I must say im not a big fan. You will not save money on fuel taking this route. I mixed 10 percent nitro with it sometimes. The most hp you will see is 20-40% increse.More if you mix nitro and its not cheep. You also have to jet up with nitro. Thats if the jetting is dead on. 40% is the sarting point of running n20 with stock components witch I now use. With methanol you can not use a plug for reading and was very hard for me to dial. I burned up a hand full of pistons running lean. Lean is mean. If you using a efi or mfi It should be fairly easy to tune. also is very corrosive. On time i forgot to purge the motor, (run race fuel with oil through the motor after use),And after one night the crank and rod assy was completly rusted solid. Kills seals gaskets and fuel lines very fast. I was lucky to last one seasion. I think it is the way to go with forced induction applacations going for max hp. I personaly feel the Nitrous is a lot more simple and better route to go for na or fi.Its fairly cheep for a kit and 3-4$ a pound. You get good milige and run less load on the motor when your cruising and turn on the heat when you feel like it.Less maitainence. You can get way more power using nitrous. 50%-100%+. Im currently running a 300 hp nitrous set up on my 468 with a fast efi. the computer does everything. retard, add fuel, o2 senser,wot switch, ramp time, rev limiter ext. would do the same with alky but like I said With n2o I get the milige when I want it and when I want to haul A$$ I push a button. Oh yea I dont run av fuel because it a antifreeze in it and will rust engine parts. I can go on and on about fuel and n20. check out the vp site and see how they rate there fuel and how gas stations rate there fuel, its interesting.
