Haha, MINI should just put me in charge of product testing If something is going to fail, I will certainly make sure to find its breaking point it seems haha.

Side rambling: I hate when manufacturers produce things that can withstand what they say they can. Granted I'm definitely not running within manuf spec, but when stock cars can't even handle stock power, theres an issue with product design and quality! Funny example/story, my friend has a Mastercraft X-star wakeboarding boat that we take out a lot...and we break something on it everytime we take it out. When we take it to the dealer they go "um were you running this WOT??".....well yes, infact we were. "Well you know you shouldn't run it over 4500 rpm?".......Then why the helll make the redline at 7k then???? Lol, melted the coolant/water lines right off the motor, which are connected to the manifold with plastic fittings (how dumb!). Made them give us brass fittings now

Same holds true for Jan's parts. Dyno tested, track tested, and track results proven. Parts that can withstand the repeated abuse of the track, you know they can withstand what they are designed to do, which cannot be said for most other parts!

Do not underestimate the cooling power of water! You'll probably see lower IAT's with higher meth, because it can evaporate so quickly, but water can do wonders in the combustion chamber. It's latent heat evaporation (the amount of heat it takes to vaporize it and therefore the amount of heat it absorbs) is almost double methanol's. Also, theoretically the octane level is infinite...as it cannot be combusted. On a high compression, high boost motor...water can really be your friend.

You can pick up some Boost Juice, performance shops usually carry it or you can get it online... its ~50/50. I ran a jug of it before I picked up my pure methanol. Works as it should. Windshield washer fluid, you never quite know what it is that you are running...
