yeah its on the elbow before the intake manifold......Thats not the problem. This guy told me that i got it from has denatured alcohol that he told me to mix with water. Its just something that he got from lowes.. I dont know weather to trust it or not

There might be an issue with the injection into the compressor, fouling up the MAS, etc.
There are a lot of threads about this, and I suggest you read up on it. You might be able to use a lot of the parts to do a better install.

I was on DevilsOwn website for the methonal system and they have the ways were you should put it and were mine is located is were its best at. Mine doesnt inject till 16psi
My actual question is Denatured alcohol bought out of a Lowes that came with the car when i bought it. Im the second owner after the car was built and the guy never fill the bottle that had it. Because he didnt use it but he had bought a can of denatured alcohol. I was wondering if that can be use or you ever heard of somebody using this.

Injecting methanol or acetone or ethanol does add octane. Its noted that methanol adds 5 octane points per 10% injected (take a look: Ray Hall ). So if I run 30% meth injection thats 93octane + (5points x 3) = 108 octane. Meth has a very very high latent heat of evaporation, around 225btu/lbs, where water's latent heat of evaporation is around 975BTU/lbs, so water has a greater cooling effect while the meth adds octane and cools also. You will definitely need some type of controller that progressively injects the meth instead of spraying a full stream at a given boost. This guy's kits a really nice and plus he uses some of the best nozzles on the market today, Hago nozzles.
I just read like you said on an old forum and acetone is what they call it. ok i shouldn't go no higher than 92octane here because i cant find 93 at the pump in Washington. I was going to see about race gas but thats to high of an additive to this engine
