Question For using meth, boost juice or washer fluid better?

Was having a discussion with someone about using meth on my car and they said that alot of people use washer fluid but they wouldnt suggest it since they didnt want soap stuff in their engine. So whats the difference between the high priced boost juice stuff and freezing washer fluid? Are there bad additives in washer fluid that shouldnt be going into the engine?

-25 degree PEAK washer fluid is like 30-35% methanol and water. Thats it. Blue dye, duh.

Shake up what fluid you want to run. If it foams up, it has detergent in it and you don't want it.

The more meth, the more octane. More water, more cooling. That should pretty much sum it up.

add a bottle of heat or two and you have a 50/50 mix for much cheaper

50/50 mix is the most ideal mixture.
The cheapest way about getting this is buying distilled water at a grocery store. Then fine a methanol supplier in your area and just mix it 1/2 and 1/2. Finding the methanol can some times be tricky in some areas.

We also do sell it already mixed.

methanol isnt always hard to find. if you have a racetrack close by fuel is often sold their, or go there and ask a racer were they get it. dirt bike shops are also another place to try, or any performance shop should know were to get it.
