Depending on the jet you use and how you set up the controller, you also have to consider the methanol and distilled water costs. (systems usually run 50% methanol and 50% distilled water. I know some people who run 1 gallon of wiper fluid and 3 cans of heet)

When I first got my snow kit I had it set up wrong and I was going through 1 gallon of methanol and 1 gallon of distilled water every 2 tanks of gas. Now that I have it setup right, it's about every 4 tanks of gas.



If you read faqs on the snow website, you only gain maximum performance from methanol injection if you tune for it.

besides the meth on your car, what other mods DO you have iags400?

No, I have it on a 1990 Thunderbird SC. It has a front mount IC that is bigger than the radiator and is currently at 16 PSI. Yes, I had hit dyno tuned with and without the methanol. It definitely lowers air inlet temps.

I run meth on both my turbo truck and my lex. I don't tune for it though because if the pump goes bad or runs out....
