Just found a sunoco methanol fuel dealer who lives practically across the street from me, it's like a 2 minute drive if that, the longest time would be waiting to cross the big intersection between our two housing sections. I think its a sign

Smh, I had 100bucks gone to a 535xi with an upgraded fuel pump and e60 tune. He runs 12.3's (unbeknownst to me). Stomped me by 3-4 cars in the quarter. Now I'm on the meth. And once I get dyno tuned, Im getting my Benjamin back home.

Speaking of meth, here's my trunk lab...

Average Meth users see a .5 to .6 quicker in the quarter just FYI.

With proper tuning of course.

So earning that hundo back should be easier following install. Good luck!

E60, is that 60% ethanol, or a BMW model designation?  :)

Nice trunk install, looks vaguely familiar.  I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun with it.  I will soon be posting some minor updates for my system.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

5 gallons of M1 and ethanol in the gas tank? What mixes of each?   Is this just for the track or DD?

I think he meant "one," not "on e." 

But speaking for myself, I'm currently running an E30 mix in the tank (92 octane gas + E85).  I have 2 E30 tunes, one with meth and one without.  Will be testing both at the track tomorrow morning.  But I'm very happy with the street performance so far.

So is meth used in the in the winter time in cold temps? I know the cooling effect would not be needed as much but the octane boost would still be there?

I think the turbos can still heat the ambient air, so maybe it can still benefit even from cooling

Ha. And yea ive been planing this the better part of this year,  def helped solidify my plans.  You showed me that the pro meth tank I planned to use would be too tall to fit how I wanted, so I changed tanks. Also, that my plans to modify the lms alky kit to a more extreme 3 stage staggered injection setup, Frankenstein'd together with multiple manufacturers parts; may actually work. So good looking out Hawk
