Methanol injection is a band-aid fix to a poorly engineered kit. If ESS can make their systems work without methanol why can't the competition.

Look at those plugs...... They were running extremely lean..... The kit was definitely a contributing factor to this failure. Anyone who thinks different is not all there. AFR's, IAT's and combustion temperatures need to be controlled very closely on an FI system being installed on an engine running 12:1 Compression. Methanol injection is not reliable enough to control this on a street driven car. On a race car methanol is good for squeezing out the last few HP but on a street car it is not ideal.
