Is meth good for course racing?

My question is that I race in road course and if I get meth injection will I run out? I will be using a 1.5 gallon tank and the races last aprox 30min. I have been thinking about purchasing a meth kit but my only reason for not making the purchase would be due to I was afraid of running out on the track. So I hope someone on here can help me out. Currently I run just 100oct on the track. Thanks!

You may see some cooling benefits with Meth / H20 injection, but if it were me I'd just have a street tune and a race tune and use race gas (no meth) at the track. Also, some tracks / clubs don't allow you to use meth unless it is stored in a fuel cell.

-1st: You need to check if the race you are running is ruled by anything forbidding meth / water injection...
-2nd: you have 2 options ti run WI; to get better performance or to run a safer engine.
-3rd: I think 1.5 gallon is enough to run 15-20% WI for 30min. (It works for me on the track and I think It's easiest to have a high WOT % on track than road race).
Good luck,
cheers!

I run out on certain tracks, therefore, I am getting another resevoir. The longer the straits seems to have a huge impact on consumption.

So if I were to purchase a 1 gallon kit, it should last 30 right?
