Default Re: Looking for a Water:Meth ratio vs cooling chart

Thanks for posting your experiences Howerton. I'm running an LS1 in a 4-gen F-body (camaro/firebird) which was never intended to be run FI from the factory. The top rings are spec'd at 0.009" - 0.015" ring gap, and with hypereutectic pistons, it doesn't take much to get those rings to butt together and take out ring lands. Typically this occurs somewhere north of 550-600 rwhp. What does it? Heat. SO the question then comes to how do you keep the pistons cool the best. Sure the methanol helps, but I still feel that the water element is benneficial in keeping temps under control.

Is the HFS-3 kit even able to run 100% methanol?
