iv just run it on mine with a holly black pump and dash 8 line and a 750 methanol carb it works well i love it just ask rolly how much he loves it. only prob with it is having to flush it out if your going to let it sit and the oil will go milky if you let it idle around but mine was never to bad best thing for a skid car keeps it cooler my intake manifols starts to get ice on it.

methanol is cheap, makes more power, runs cooler, more consistant,

need meth carb, and bigger fuel system. remember you need 3 times more meth than normal fuel!

im running it in the tonner, it loves it, as vl1271 said the top end is all ice.

my oil is fine, as long as it gets hot and evaporates the methanol out of the oil. ( have a good catch can set up! )

it can be left in the tank and lines for a while, no more than a month with out starting.

only anoying thing is that it uses alot. i only got 3 laps to a 60L tank at powercruise.

so say you run you car once a week you wont have to clean out the lines and stuff?

someone told me that you can buy an additive for methanol that stops the corosion problem whith fuel lines and carbs & im also intrested in this thread as ile be switching over to meth once the car is sorted dan
