50% meth is pruven to make great power and is a lot less corrosive...

ask the ones that actually tune cars which makes more, its all relative to the psi and nozzle you use anyway...on a snow kit with the 150psi pump and a 625 nozzle 50% meth gets the job done...if you want to run 100% take some aluminum and stick it in the meth for a little, let me know if thats what you want your motor to look like...

What about 100% denatured alcohol, that is not corrosive right? Not sure if it is as good for power though...

I know the answer to this is on here somewhere...

Is Alchy only good as a knock suppressant, and meth is actually a power adder (contains some O2)?

Ok, so what kind of boost is normally able to be tuned with each?

I have a feeling head studs will be needed with either.

none taken, i suggest 50% in any kit that you buy for an evo...the example with the nozzle and pump was just to show you that % and what power it makes depends on variables of the kit...so there is no one set % that will get you a certain power...this is because if you use a bigger nozzle and inject more at higher psi you are getting same amount of meth as if you were using a smaller nozzle and lower psi...with a 9 you will definitely get very close if not over 400whp depending on the dyno you use...the key thing is you will be in mid 11s if driven correctly...start looking for a clutch at that power as well...

alky will not make as much power as its a lower octane booster...

24-28psi is typical, depends on tuner and how they tune the car...

head studs are over rated and I do not recommend them being installed the 1x1 method, do it the right way by removing the head or keep the stockers...95% of blown head gaskets are from improperly installed arp headstuds...

No corrosion with alky, and no, it doesn't make less power than meth. 100% is always capable of making more power than 50/50, too.
