Yep, this kit is good for a 300 shot on Metanol, 600 on gas. Don’t think I’ll be exceeding either one of those limits anytime soon. It’ll get 200 ASAP, though. ---

> [@Awkward Moments](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/awkward-moments/46966/20): > > whats the reason for the use of methanol? Several… The nitrous system needs a fuel upgrade-albiet from the car’s fuel source, or it’s own system… If I would of chosen to upgrade the cars fuel system, it would be more work, and the nitrous would use whatevers in the cars tank, which was typically AVGAS. With this system, we can run the car on 93 octane (which is all it needs), and the nitrous system will use meth. Same idea as using meth in a boosted application. We can spray the full 200 shot without retarding the timing at all (maybe 2 degrees to be safe). It’ll make more power, and make it much safer this way. I’d have no issue spraying 250 to this motor, but it’d need a new plate and nitrous solenoid to support that. We’ll see what it runs on the 200 first. ---

Very cool Travis. If you are ever down this way grab that radiator I told you about. That should save you a little off the nose too. Not much more work now to pull off the passenger fender and get that heavy ass heater/air box off the firewall and out from under the dash! Just do it man!!! :lol: ---

I wish me and my dad couldve built something but he’s too lazy. He used to work on cars back in the day and rented a garage with a few friends and drag raced alot. I dont know what happened but now he doesnt even change his own oil and seems to have forgotten everything he knew about cars. He was no help at all with my Mustang. ---

Pulled the headers/valve covers/alternator and took those parts, along with the upper radiator plate to the the powder coater. The dude has done work for me before but I had never been to his shop until today, almost forgot about him…holy crap, Johnsburg NY makes Ticonderoga look like a thriving metropolis, ha! (just west of Chestertown, 20 minutes off of exit 25 of the Northway) ---
