Well I have pushed my boundaries with the spray and am just starting to get a little knock or pre-det. My question is can I solve this by messing with my fuel or should I back off the spray. I would definitely like not to run full race fuel due to the cost. Can I mix it with 93 lets say 50/50. If so does anyone know where in the Rochester/Troy/shelby area that sells it regularly? Thanks.

I used a 2 gallon tank and it was WAY overkill. With a 200 shot I was probably using 6 ounces of fuel per pass. I always used C16/Q16, never had any problems other than TOO much color on the plugs. One outing I used C16 in the tank and the cell and my plugs were yellow. I,was told I was too much octane. 93 in the tank and C16 in the cell always worked good, I even used the NO2 fuel a few times. If I was still spraying, I would try a meth tuneup. It would be cheaper than using VP and you would be injecting double vs gasoline. It would make combustion a lot cooler than gasoline.
Well now a freind gifted me a water/meth system that he had laying around. Should I do the stand alone fuel system for the nitrous. Or should I hook up this water/meth system and run pump gas? Any opinions would be of great help. Not totally sold on spraying water in my engine. Lol

Well... If you are experiencing a little knock, I would set the meth kit up with the smallest nozzle and have it spray into your exsisting combo. Use 100% methanol. The yellow bottles of HEET gasoline antifreeze is 99% methanol. It's overpriced methanol but available everywhere. If the knock goes away, you are a successful hotrodder.
