ALOT of possitives to Methanol Injection..  |
and some negatives. For example, if you're using the methanol as additional fueling as you state, and there's a failure in the system or you run out of alky then you have a good chance of damaging your engine. Many people do not tune for it for that very reason, although then you are losing most of the benefits of running alcohol injection (the ability to run more boost and timing on pump gas). Although I run water and/or alky injection on all my forced induction builds, running an intercooler is never a bad idea. There are cases where an intercooler is very hard to package, and the alky is a great way to go Actually, for heat absorption straight water is even better, but you lose the additional fueling and the slight octane boost of using alky.
My opinion, run both if possible.
