I have a 2018 Premier, 5.3, with a SLP supercharger and custom tune. It runs well and the blower has been on for almost two years. I am adding methanol in the coming month - an Alkycontrol kit. Curious to know if anyone has done so and, if so, what kind of gains they have seen. I am not pullying down, just tuning for meth.

I have meth on my corvette and I know the gains there but that is a radical build and this is a stock motor with a little forced induction.

Thanks in advance.

Dumb question. Just curious, back in the day the blown vette guys would actually use the windshield washer reservoir and pump to spray meth in the intake. Is that still an option?

Washer pump is not strong enough to get proper atomization but yes that is an easy tank to retrofit you can keep it functional and spray -20 in the intake and on the windshield.

We used the windshield washer reservoir but a proper pump with controller. Works like a charm. We installed a new reservoir elsewhere for the washer fluid. I wanted the washer reservoir for meth so when the washer light comes on, I know I am low on meth. Did the same thing in my Corvette (but just removed the meth because it is not needed when running ethanol.
