heres a video i did not to long ago. the first one might be 50/50 and the second one is a pretty big flame which is probably around 75/25

also ive had this meth for almost a year now and its still very flammable

Glad you asked, I'm looking into this as well. i figure I'll start out 50/50, but will give VP M1 and denatured alcohol a try. It seems like both of those are used interchangeably. Basically whichever is cheaper and available in your area. If I go to the strip I might try to run the tank down and then mix in a 80/20 then when I leave the strip dilute it with more distilled water to bring it back to about 50/50

what type of meth are you using? Where did you get it? Reason I ask is that I hear you should get something as pure as possible such as the M1 or denatured alky. This way you aren't getting something that has additives.

Jeff,
What are you mixing with your VP M1? Also have you ever tried their M3 or M5?

I think the m3 and m5 has additives. Whether they should be used or not I'm unsure, but I don't think many use it. I believe you should mix with distilled water.

Yeah I mix my M1 with distilled water. I know the M3 and M5 have nitro in it and I didn't know if somebody was brave enough to try it or would it just be a waste of money.

What about for just daily driving? Shiv recommended boost juice (50/50 mix) so i picked up a 4 gallon pack of that, but if there is a more potent (and safe) mix i may try that. Thanks.

I'm about 75/25. I use VP M1 and also have boost juice around to cut it down to the right percentage. Last time I ordered boost juice, the most reasonable shipping was at the Summit Racing web site. I pick up 5 gal VP M1 locally and there is also a Shell Racing Fuel station that has 5 gal cans of World Wide Racing 100% meth.

FYI - VP Racing fuels explicitly says to not use M3 or M5 in methanol injection kits. It's for cars that run methanol as the primary fuel.

I use VP M1 because I have a dealer a couple mile away from my house. I do mix it with distilled water from walmart. I have tried the boost juice before and it was good too but I'm more of a 75/25 guy!!

It might just be in my head but it seems like the car is a little bit faster using my own mix.

Yeah that is pretty much what my VP dealer said too, but he did say that there is alot of dirt track racers in my area that use it on the side and not as the primary fuel.

I do know that it is a lot more expensive. I think M3 was double the price of M1 and M5 was even more than that.

For daily driving I wouldn't do anything more than 50/50 just from a safety prospective. You get hit and the tank gets ruptured you might be thankful that you aren't running a high concentration of meth. Boost juice takes the thought out of doing your own mixing. I'm probably going to start out with a couple of gallons to make sure the system is working right then go to mixing.

Pretty much. De-ionized is actually more pure water so you're good
