hi mate
im having a alcatek fitted this month so can use this stuff.
my only concern is that its a everyday car for my wife and a toy fir me at wkend. so if I have a map with methonal is it still a reliable car? and how hard is it to mix into your tank? ie mix ratio and how to do it?
thanks

Once you got meth you dont go back If anything the car is more reliable with meth in the tank as it runs cooler than just v power and doing the mix is pretty straight forward.

Say your filling a total of 25 litres, you need 5 litres of meth to get a 20% mix, or if going on a bit of run go for a total of 40 litres which needs 8 litres of meth to get a 20% mix

I normally get it from Jennychem and store it in my cellar

It can be run on a standard engine but would still need to be mapped for

Oh brilliant, might try it, got alcatek so could have other map done for meth + v power, if a td05 16g is running 340-50bhp how much more power would you get with meth mix?

You may gain 10 of each as peak figures but it will help spool and fatten up the midrange, might want to watch your gearbox though
