Water/Meth on E85 with a Small Shot.
 
So I've seen where Bolt ons and a tuned 150 shot produces over 4 to the wheels. So as the titles states can you run:

Water/Meth on E85 and have a 75 or 125 shot of the button?

I'm sure you say you can until it blows but will the cooler Temps not help and in turn make it more "reliable"? Thoughts on this please.

And will water/Meth and e85 work with each other?

Water/meth will actually hurt performance while running E85.

I've seen a "kit" for e85 on the 370. Do you still have to switch over all fuel lines and do like a full conversion because of how caustic e85 is?

Also, what information can you give me about why water/Meth and e85 combined is a bad thing as far as hurting performance?
Thanks.

E85 is a higher octane fuel than methanol, especially with water. If you run meth with E85, you're lowering the octane of the fuel. E85 already burns cooler than pump gas, so you won't be getting the cylinder cooling from water/meth that you would from running meth with pump gas.

Awesome thanks.
