My search did not lead me to an answer so let me ask. Which is more beneficial? I have a speedshop 2 miles from me that I get my meth from {$4.00 gal} but I've considered going to Lowes and buying a 5 gallon pale of Denatured alcohol. Anyone have experience with both?
 
if you have a alky control stick to meth. i tried the other with a smc years ago. meth is the way to go. john
 
Methanol works better but is more corrosive. Denatured works fine depending on how far you want to push things.

I have switched to denatured since I am not out to set any records. With ported alky inhection and a custom build alky system, it seems to be working quite well.

With the denatured, I hope the pump will last quite a bit longer, as the car sits quite a bit. A gallon last me over a year so $14/gal is not an issue. So far so good.

Hope that helps.
