Nice! Let us know how you get on with it. It doesn't say what the concentration needs to be to get the full 6 octane, but I'm sure you will find it out :smiley:

1-Is there such things as too high of octane
2-Can you run meth with it
3-What octane rating does a car running meth producer in theory

1 - I've wondered that myself. I suppose there is a law of diminishing returns once you get to a certain octane on our compression ratio. The higher the octane, the more you can squeeze it before it goes bang (uncontrollably). Sunoco race fuel is popular in high compression (15:1) drag engines, I think that goes up to 120 octane!
2 - You can run meth with anything I reckon.
3 - A quick bit of googling puts Methanol at 110 octane, but I don't know how that translates into an overall octane when mixed with petrol, but E85 is about 104 octane I think.

Interesting last few posts. I always thought these octane boosters were snake oil. They've been around for years. Also interesting where the company is based.. surely a coincidence!
There must be a catch??

I agree there will come a point when the meth reachest its limit of doing another other than wasting.
Reason i asked if you can run meth with it was more of would there be any point of the octane booster and Vpower for example made the same octane as meth would. I guess it also depends on the mix of meth in the wmi injection too. very interesting.
So the next question is.... who has a dyno near them??? :driver: :driver:

I think meth is used more for it's cooling properties. Have you ever spilled some on your hand? :laugh:
I often read about guys running E85 don't worry about upgrading their intercoolers because it burns so much cooler than neat petrol.
What you really need is Nitromethane :grin: That stuff is evil!
I used an octane booster years ago, can't remember the make, but it was popular with Subaru boys. Can't say I noticed anything tbh, but anything that stops the ECU pulling timing in boost will make it feel a bit perkier.
