Are you running meth?

What do you run? I am trying to find methanol but I can't find it anywhere locally. Boost Juice is expensive. I have read Heet works, but I have also read Heet is bad. I have read Denatured Alcohol works, and I have read it was bad also.

What are you guys using if it isn't Boost Juice or your own Methanol mix?

VP M1 methanol mixed with distilled water. 60/40 mix at 19.5 psi and logs look great.

30$ for 5gal drum if I remember correctly. And last 3-4 months.

Home depot / Lowes Denatured Alcohol.

Usually about $12-15 / Gallon

Or

Heet + Windshield washer fluid -35 is 35% meth.

Otherwise go on VP's site and see if they can source you a local dealer.

Did you run the Denatured Alcohol on a 50/50?

Zero Degree windshield washer fluid. Doesn't add the fueling as much, if that is what you are looking for, but allows for aggressive tuneups.

I am FBO with inlets and RB turbos. Running 21 psi on 93 octane pump. Looking to get as much more psi while staying healthy.
