Methanol Injection

NonLinearEdit

I get what you're saying, but if tuned correctly in the configuration it is in, methanol acts as a safeguard as it suppresses knock and detonation. If you're running and tuning methanol with the expectation of lowering intake temps it doesn't present catastrophic failure if the meth system ceases to work. It's only when you're pulling extra timing based on the methanol injection that you run the risk of popping the motor if the system fails at WOT. In the summer here with IAT's above 160 that's an incredibly useful safe guard. There's also nothing really unreliable about the stillen kit. Aside from the air cooling, the Soho A2A for example utilizes the same hardware as on the stillen kit. They're both reliable one is just subject to more heat soak and loss of performance from said heat soak. The system is already installed on the car anyway, my question wasn't about someone's opinions of how methanol works, but as to how the tuning process works.
