Question about Boost Juice

It's a 50/50 mix of methanol and water, with some pink food coloring. Nothing special.

In the big picture why not just buy straight methanol???

Don't buy anything from snow! All crap!! Even boost juice!!! All hype, lots of $$ in advertising for crap made in china and screwing people over for boost juice/ warranty. Stay Away.
Use straight methanol like mentioned above.

Being in the desert we do not worry about freezing weather, and most of the alky injected Buicks here run a 50/50 mix and never have seen an issue because of this?
As far as other makes of cars with alky injection, I do not know of any that use straight meth, especially the race cars?
Since water has 7 times the latent heat of evaporation than alcohol, logic would be the 50/50 mix would run cooler.
I do not personally use alky injection as e-85 is my choice, I can only go by what my customers and friends tell me is their experience.
The comment I hear most is that "I have cut my cost in half now that I am using a 50/50 mix, and it performs just as good".
As far as comments about Snow systems, that is the dominant unit used by most of the local street cars and many racers as well with great success.

Just because snow sells more than anyone else doesn't mean it's the best.
Up until a couple years ago their controllers were still analog and not very reliable as well as costing to much for what you get. As far as the 50/50 mix goes I don't think it's better than straight meth.
Water turns to steam with the temps in the combustion chamber which raises the C/R because it won't compress or burn. That would be the main reason why one may experiance more power, but I don't think it makes as much power as straight meth. Meth lowers temps and is a combustible fuel which raises the octane rating not the C/R so you can run more boost.
On that note, since you run E85.. Why not add some water to your gas tank?

Razor said:
It would separate and never be consistent blend. Correct?
I don't think I would spray anything but meth.
The cars that run a mix don't need as much detonation resistance as we do. The imports and big block guys can go further than we can on straight 93 without knocking. A mix would be fine for those cars, but for us not so much
And while we might be ok on a mild build with 50/50, the fastest of the fastest are running straight methanol

I was being sarcastic
My car runs 93 octane with 100% meth. 3400 lbs, 8.74 at 159.9.. no way in hell i'll add water.
Like Missouri..
Someone "show me" someone going faster on mix than straight... you'll hear crickets

I'm still laughing, that would be real funny until someone reads your post and then walks out to the car and pulls the plate down and yells to their buddy, HEY TURN THE WATER ON!!! Okay I think that's about ten gallons TURN IT OFF!!!
Let's go for a ride and kick this bitch!! Hey why's my car running like crap, oh no, now it won't start.
Sorry I have grand delusions when I read a post like yours.
I knew you were kidding, but some clueless sap would attempt that if he didn't read any further.

(Me) Where did you read that???
(You) On the internet, they can't lie on the internet so it must be true.
(Me) Okay, have you read anywhere if we could use 50/50 antifreeze/water to cool it even further than water/meth.
(You) Let me google it and see what comes up. Wow, they use it in New Zealand so it must work here to, let's try it.
