Anyone running the Snow meth kits? Looking into the pros and cons of adding this to my Paxton car. Car is a built motor/fuel system on 10lbs currently. Any input is greatly appreciated.

I'm running a Alky Control kit on a Prochargered car. Pros, lower IAT, 50/50 injection slight boost in octane, added timing when intake temps are low, reduced knock. Cons, you must relocate your IAT sensor from the MAF to after the injection point to see lower temps, can't completely tune for it since these cars have widebands and pull fuel when methanol is added.
In general, meth is riskier than E85 just because if some part of the system fails, or there isn't a shut off that accounts for the meth tank being empty, that your motor will lean out and likely blow up. If it's setup right it should be fine, to me personally it installs a constant worry, kind of like running a NOS kit.
I'd recommend E85 over it, even if you're far away from a station there are other options... there are flex fuel tunes out by some tuners now that will let you swap from 93 to E85 on the fly, and the ECU will automatically adjust the timing/power levels after a few minutes of driving once it realizes there's less knock from higher octane, and will adjust the fuel tables accordingly. It's cheaper to buy and setup too compared to gallons of methanol.
