Exactly...If I know I'm going to the track, and it's blistering hot, I'll mix a gallon or so of race gas in with my pump gas, for insurance purposes (in case it wants to yank a degree or 2). But for everyday driving, I am always on pump and the meth is always ready. Been about 3000 miles so far, since we installed the meth kit. This combination seems to work for me so far...

Yup, I consider it a better safer race file.

Is water injection ONLY worth it for everyday driving?? I want it coz it is TOO HOT IN SUMMER ( +120F )..Will it cool down the car??

I have no problem using pure VP109 or C16 for street racing

I am using an Aquamist kit. It had foggers drilled and tapped into the intake tube right before the throttle body. It only sprays when I reach a predetermined injector duty cycle. Tank and pump are up front, control box is in with ECU.

Water will cool the IAT number only and this is good but Meth will cool it and rice the octan at the same time.

Anyone that sells race fuel should have it. M1 methanol from VP fuels. $3 to $4 a gallon?

Absolutely. Even with windshield washer fluid, you need to adjust your tune.
