I am very hesitant about running methanol as I have heard/read some horror stories. Now you can find these  same stories built around other performance mods such as nitrous and F/I as well, but the use of meth is new to me. I just want to make sure before I start buying stuff that I have all the information laid out in front of me.
Judging from information available and responses in threads, it seems like the lone way to ever get down into the 11 second range is running a 100% meth system. So here are the three scenarios I am weighing out:
-Run 100% meth for the strip only(Stage 5 or XV1, separate meth reservoir), with no meth on the streets (Stage 4+)
-Run 100% meth for the strip only(Stage 5 or XV1, separate meth reservoir), 50% meth on the streets (Stage 4+, windshield washer resorvoir for the meth)
-Run 100% meth all the time and just change tunes at the track from 4+ to Stage 5 or XV1
I appreciate anyone's help in guidng me in teh right direction.

First off I have not see or heard of any meth horror stories, not to say it hasn't happened. But when used correctly it is very safe and great enhancement to our cars. For myself I have been running meth in my car for over 2yrs daily, with no issue. While do have a street tune and race tune, or I could easily load a non-meth tune and pull the fuse on meth system and swamp out bar 3 MAP sensor for the bar 2. For myself I use a 2 quart tank for my meth, and I use about a quart of meth a week on my 26mi a day commute.
Most other have opted to used the 2qrt tank as there wind shield washer tank and there 1gal washer reservoir as the meth tank. And there a few other that have a 5gal tank they mounted in there trunk.
Now all I've have described are alkycontrol systems which are 100% meth systems. Alkycontrol puts together a really nice system, with everything you need to get the job done. And Julio of Alkycontrols is top notch when comes to customer service.

As the newest member to the METH CLUB (Wed before LMS TRACK DAY) I can't say anything about long turn effect but I can give you the latest update. I have the new XV1 Tune, DD METH, & RACE METH tune. The new XV1 will let you turn the METH off and run with the 3bar in you car as if you were running stage 4 with a 2bar.
