Is there any other way instead of using methanol ? ... I mean cheaper and not that rare to find
This must be related to your location.

I get 5 gallons of methanol for about $40. That would last me well over a year if I didn't share it.

Considering what you have into your car (and that you aren't going to race every day), I don't see how that's expensive at all. It takes me a full race day on road course (not drag racing), to use most of a gallon. Drag racing hardly uses any at all.

The spray doesn't change volume, it either sprays or not. So 12 seconds of water/meth per pass is a VERY small amount for drag racing.

If you want me to try and sneak you some HEET through customs, email me. LOL

Here in Malta for $40 we get 20 litres unleaded pump fuel. I imagine 20 litres of methanol would cost $80 by least !

I will check out for more but I don't want to tell too much people that I am going methanol. I want it to be my secret weapon

Garm, I appreciate your hellp, so in case I decide to buy what is the total cost involved for at least 2 gallons?
