Shamelessly stolen from Turbobuick.com!



In the Dallas/Ft. Worth area:



Smiley's Racing

2017 Peachtree Rd.

Balch Springs, TX 75180

972.289.7223 (RACE)

972.289.8055 fax



Smiley's Racing West

1170 E. Mansfield Hwy.

I was at the store over in Kennedale just a couple of weeks ago. Their methanol is the Sunoco racing alcohol kind and is $2.60/gal. Website is http://www.smileysracing.com

Make sure you are getting methanol from a reliable source also. I once recieved a water down blend from a dirt bike shop. I'd recommend buying from a VP fuel dist/dealer.

nothing really, it's made to help prevent detonation so you can run higher boost off your turbo

Default Re: Methanol Sources

youre confusing methanol injection as additional coolant with all out methanol fueled engine. And fuel source is all lies. Any agricultural methanol is not any different from VP methanol in any meaning. There is one single formula for methanol, if it is methano, it is methanol. We run methanol of all cheapest sources in blown big blocks for ages. No differences. Problem with methanol fuel is you need a lot of spark energy, stock ignitions a not able to fire up methanol. Also its not easy to start it.
