Water/Meth + Fuel Additives?

I have a Snow Stage II kit waiting to be installed....but this came to mind.

I heavily run Power Service or Diesel Power cetane booster. With all of that PLUS water/meth, would that cause any problems?

I'm thinking that no more Power Service than i use, it shouldn't be a problem...but the question came to mind....cetane booster + meth = ???

Any ideas? comments? call me stupid for asking?

I dont really see that being a problem. You dont want to run too much meth anyways.

Stupid for asking. Just playing. Nah, you won't have any issues. FWIW, rjohnson runs some potent fuel additive and sprays 50/50 water/meth and has so for a long time and hasn't had any issues.

Yes that thought about timing came to my mind....since Scary Larry does an insane amount of timing.

Cquestad check your PM's please sir.

05+ tranny actuators are a big ordeal but it hasn't been brought to much attention publicly yet....so far HTS is the only company that claims to have no problems with the actuator issue. Dave Goerend isn't liking these actuators so i hear. EDIT: TDR has a thread about this right now....

Someone will find out sooner or later if meth and additives a problem.....i guess i may be the lab rat!
