METHANOL GUYS! Tuning Question

Hey guys.
I have the stage 1 kit from AIS, and I'm running the -20*F windshield washer fluid, yet the only timing advance my friend and I could do last night without seeing ridiculous knock was a half degree, is there not enough alcohol in the mixture or something? What's up? I know some guys run as much as a 4 degree advance. Any help is appreciated.

-Chad

Yes it's working, the meth/water level goes down and my IAT's are ridiculously low.
Nozzle Size = Whatever Rodney from AIS included, I told him 17PSI.
Fuel, I don't know if you mean which methanol or which Gasoline, so 93 Octane and Peak -20*F Washer fluid.
Pulley 2.9"
Injectors = 42.5lb

I was able to throw 3* extra at it resulting in 10whp. Every car will be different.

somethings not right.

i can cram 30 degree's into any meth car i have tuned at 11.8-12.0 afr.

no kids. 30 is pointless. don't do it.

you need to know what size nozzle you have.

Is there anyway to find out by LOOKING at the nozzle?

put a wideband on it and see what afr you're running.


my old nozzle was way too big, and my afr would drop to 10.0 from like 3500 to 7 grand.

i'd guess yours is too small from what you're describing
