    Meth is fuel so in order to have proper AFRs you have to take some fuel out through remapping...and of course you can add lots of timing as meth lowers the IATs...

    Although you better use a check valve or something because if the pump fails or the tank empties then the mixture goes lean and as the timing is already advanced then detonation occurs etc

    You probably have to have it filled up, at quite a cost.

    Alternatively you could get a credit account with BOC or similar and buy it by the 55Gallon drum?

    tempting isnt it?

    £7.50 a gallon from hobby stores... considering its mixed with water and activated by pressure its not bad at all... you just pour it into the bottle and thats it.
