More or less he said even with a 50/50 water methanol mix the speed/velocity of the air charge in the intake tract does not allow time for freezing of either. When I asked him about the freezing issue he mentioned it as a misnomer something along the same line as puddling in an intake manifold plenum = if the nitrous and fuel system is setup and used correctly its not an issue.
He also mentioned that the methanol when used with nitrous is for addtional fuel/octane and does nothing for intake air charge cooling when used with nitrous = doing more cooling when its injected then methanol could ever do.
Even though I have not spoken to everyone I can think to trust with the question, my thinking at this point is that unless the methanol nozzle/jet is leaking OR if the methanol delivery system is weak in design and function its a go for using methanol with nitrous. Note: I have Spoken to Richard L at Aquamist, he mentioned that nitrous with methanol injection has been done for quite some time and its not new or really tricky, but like anything whether some one sees good or bad comes down to the components, the install, and how its used.
Right now I do not have scientific evidence via testing to back up the potential freezing issues but so far I have not had many people tell me it should not be done. I'll have to talk to a couple of more long time nitrous guru's to get more feedback.
Good post Turbo Jack. I'm still on the fence about the added expense, but if you already have the meth kit, might as well use it to up octane.
My issue with using both had nothing to do with freezing, pleny on this forum have ran both and not come across problems.
My issue is more a performance vs tuning/expense issue. In other words, is it worth going through the trouble to install, tune and run both.
