can you mix?

CAN YOU MIX METHANOL WITH DENATURED ON THE SMC KIT.WOULD THAT DECREASE THE CORROSIVE NATURE OF THE METHANOL?

I wouldnt.

Can you... sure, but the risk of damaging the pump and having your system fail out weighs the benefit.

Stick to what works with your SMC kit..

I know a lot that have run methanol in their SMC kits, but are playing with risking corrossion. As well as those that have run 50/50 in their SMC kits. On the older kits it is not recommended. This is my understanding.

If i'm wrong, please correct me.

What about mixing water with denatured? My denatured is about out and I thought about mixing in some water to see how it affects performance. Do I used distilled water or would tap water be fine? I also have some rubbing alcohol and was wondering if a mix of all 3 would be any good? So far I've only run 100% dentured. I haven't tuned it yet because of problems that pop up one after the other. Now that I have a new engine and tranny I think it is tuning time. Any suggestions?

Personally I've had the best numbers with 100% denatured...I wouldn't mix any water in there...If I can run almost 30 psi of boost on no knock I think it's doing something right...

Keep water out of your SMC kit. Denatured with Klotz lube is whats recommended.

Correct me if i'm wrong

You're right about that! I read about trying different mixes of denatured and water, so I started playing around with 50/50 and 70/30. Car ran great with any mixture but rust did start to quickly form on the outside of the pump. After the fact, Steve informed me to only run 100% alky in the older style SMC kit. No water. Don't know about running water mixture in the newer SMC or Razor's PAC.
