NITRO- METHANE!!!
Frankly, a W/M system from Torrie or a basic Stage 1 system from Devils Own, are under $300.00 These systems use a boost sensor to activate the W/M pump. SIMPLER IS BETTER... READ my articles on W/M..... Of course, if you are chasing 11's or 4DR... you need to spend MORE... but if you are just spraying on the street or wanting to impress your friends or others at the strip... GO CHEAP and get 90%+ for LESS...
Devil's own also sells the same system as AlkyControl for under $500... + NPT braided lines and fittings. They sell braided lines with NPT fittings in many sizes... SO... if you feel you need braided lines, they are the best source on the internet....
Can you run 100% meth with either of these systems?
The pumps are all made by Shurflow. Devil's Own version is the latest... For safety and legal reasons, almost all of these companies do not recommend 100% methanol, or any concentration that is flammable. However, their systems, especially if you run braided lines are just as safe at running 100% methanol as anyone elses. AlkyControl likes to see pump below the outlet of the W/M tank and the spray nozzle, simply to make sure pump is primed by gravity. These pumps are very reliable, and likely more reliable than the controller module. If I am going to be doing WOT runs, I always make sure everything is working properly. I also installed a light that turns on when pump is getting power, which tells me that my boost pressure switch is working.
100% methanol is 116 octane and in our vehicles works as a supplemental fuel source to keep lambda #'s safe. However, non-flammable concentrations of W/M are used to cool the air, resulting in the ability to run more advance without knock. The most important thing is to be tuned for and consistently use the same methanol % so everything operates safely... especially A/F ratio (lambda).
FYI...Almost all my logging and testing for Torrie was done in Naples, FL when outside temps were between 80 & 90 deg, using Costco 93 octane gas.
