[QUOTE="Willie, post: 15688129, member: 14133"] Yes. Noticeable loss of power. Think of the path the methanol has to take to the combustion chamber and think of the temperature of the surrounding metal on its path. When it flows into the top of the blower, it's already turned to vapor. Then it travels through super hot rotors. One of my temperature gauges reads at the base of the blower, on top of the intercooler. This is the location where I have seen temps exceed 200 degrees. Luckily, this air still has to travel through the intercooler, which does a good job as seen in the IAT2 temp, which is substantially lower. But the question remains, how much lower is this IAT2 temp, if methanol were not mixed in? By back-to-back WOT pulls, one with and one without methanol, I saw no difference. Then I installed my four nozzles in the lower intake and that is when I watched my IAT2s drop while the methanol was being sprayed and continue to drop for about 10 seconds after I lifted. Then within one minute or so, it was back up significantly to what it was before the pull. That would be great to see someone besides myself with empirical data... And yes, contact me whenever you need. [/QUOTE]
