Hot shot works great, almost like a poor substitute for a turbo.

I think he may have tried using grain alcohol just like injecting methanol + water 💦 for added HP.

Yeah I tried water methanol and grain alcohol. The strongest methanol I could find was 80 proof. Going stronger than that I had to go to everclear.

So, just pour it in the tank instead of having a supplemental injector? What proportions.

Where do you buy methanol or grain alcohol and how much do you pay? My small bottle of Everclear cost me a very dear 17 dollars :/
The cheapest thing I can think of for injecting into an engine for cooling is E85.

It's aloha taco season again, it sneaks up on you like a suicide bomber.
I recommend -20F windshield washer as its 80proof, methanol and only around a dollar for a gallon.
I just wanted to try higher proof.

Oh, I see. Yea, I was hoping for more than that.
Back when I lived in California, they actually banned the methanol containing windshield fluid (everything on the shelf is marked 32F), but the local Walmart mistakenly received a shipment of 0F wiper fluid and I bought all the jugs I could carry. The cashier was kind of confused why they wouldn't scan.
When going to Nevada for skiing, I'd also scoop that methanol containing stuff up. I can't remember if I saw -20F, it doesn't really get that cold in the Sierras IIRC.
For gasoline powered cars, water or methanol injection is a little fussy since you have the option of running more ethanol in the tank. It still helps, just not much without a big turbo. |

That's racist! Officially It's not, while simultaneously it is, much like how Brian Regan is always wrong, no matter what he says?
Besides, it is aloha snack bar! Get it right!
Maybe it is...
I was once invited to join Isis, a guild in World of Warcraft. I didn't think anything about it. I attended Church with Isis. She seemed like a nice girl.
"Thanks for inviting me. How is everyone doing?"
"Aloha snack bar!"
Okay...
Yeah, they quickly changed their name.
I recently started messing around with a new character and someone offered 1,000 gold to sign a guild charter.
I have done worse things for less.
All of a sudden I had a scroll in my face and all that it said was Donald Trump.
I hesitated half a second, but signed and took the gold.
...so now it says Donald Trump under Incontinent.
Nobody asks why and for some reason everyone else left the guild.
