Just talked to our test guy for the meth, he said he got 30 more miles out of his tank then he usualy gets, this is on a RX-8 with a supercharger kit with the meth tuned to come on under high load over 4000 RPM. He burned through 2 quarts 50/50 mix and ran out about 50 miles short of the end of the tank. Were installing a 5 gallon tank in his trunk next week and im going to work on a cruzing spray tune to see how well that works. Ill keep you posted, I might just install it this week on the VX. At the moment im getting 280 to 310 per tank on the highway.

Considering methanol is about $5 - $6 a quart ($20 - $30 a gallon) the mileage increase is more a step backward from the economy standpoint. Heck, at least in the VX you could put the DI drivetrain from an '04 Axiom or Rodeo in and get an increase in HP, torque and mileage plus a better tranny. LOL, if he'd stayed off meth he could've afforded another fill-up!
Knock yourself out Moonraker, I can get you some genuine ground plane isolators that should net you another 5HP by freeing up bound electron isotopes trapped in your chassis. ;)
Looking forward to your Baja report.

Na, $2 a gallon, We buy it 55 gallons at a time and not at the track.

Just wanted to drag this thread out of mothballs to see if Moonraker has any further info. on the methanol injection or Baja prep...I have my doubts, since he hasn't been active since his last post.:sighwgray

I'm sceptable....but it sounded like a pipe dream from the git. If you were gonna Baja, why in the world would you pick this car? Maybe eight or ten years ago...even then the cost to get this thing race ready would be scary...but you would stand out.
