5 gal 100% Meth @ $28
5 gal Distilled Water @ $5

You can do the math... 10 gal of @ 50/50 for $33... So if you want to be like Hemi and pay more than double for your meth and not be able to afford to take your girlfriend out to dinner because you want to be cool, send me your money because I'm thinking about getting into the Juicy-Boost business...

4 gal of Boost Juice $33.08 with ground shipping to my zip $47.81 = $80.89
That's @ $20 per gal of 49/51... So if you want to be cool and pay $200 per 10 gal of meth just because it's mixed for you in nice little gal containers so you don't have to look like a chemist... Break out the Visa, because Snow Performance doesn't take American Express.
take out shipping, there are a few places that boost juice out the store, and its a ton cheaper than you are quoting in bulk or in single purchase quantity. also of note, with window washer fluid you have to make sure there are no additives in it, or you can cause damage to your pumps and motor.

again, boost juice, or what some of the local shops will mix for you, is headache free and stress free way of doing this, for a marginal increase in price.

shit theres a place in jersey that will sell you 5 gallons of boost juice for $29.99

I have run 93 oct and meth for almost a year. The car runs really good. Just did the jump to e85 the other day and the car runs just as good on e85 as it did with just meth alone.
Now when running e85 and meth the car is a monster!!!! More boost, cooler IATs and the car definitely pulls way harder.
Another benefit is you can run meth when e85 isn't around. So it's the best of both worlds.

Yeah, if you can get it local, then it's not a bad deal... Also, if you're running ww tank meth, I wouldn't think of running higher than 50/50. Even then it's still cause for worry. I almost lost my car to a meth fire last year with Chris from HPF. We went out for a ride to film a review of his new 335 rev 2 3.5" single exhaust and my valve cover foam caught fire from meth pooling on the sub pan. Meth boiled out of the vent on the ww tank. When we put the car on the rack to try to figure out what happened, the sub pan was wet... Be safe and make sure you have a fire extinguisher in the car.

its stories like that, that made me put the tank and the pump in the truck with a check valve before the engine bay.

imho, and no offense, but i think too may people are willing to just do windshield washer tank than makes sense.

I think i'll pull the trigger and get meth.

Just have to find some instructions for the trunk mount install

Someone correct me if i'm wrong, but setting the meth to spray at a certain PSI is the only way it will trigger, meaning if you're just city cruising with little to no boost, you wont waste meth right?

100% correct. the default 10 psi trigger is just about perfect. You can also disconnect power to the switch and drive without meth if you want!
