i ment for emissions, I burn that in my sprint car and it burns realy clean, mabey it could help pass a moded car like mine with no cats?

Do you mean pure methanol or methanol blend? (aka. gasahol)

I know for a carburated engine you need to re-jet the carb to be able to run pure methanol. I think that you have to change a bunch of things to be able to run methanol. Plus its pretty expensive. Would you only use this for emisions testing?

Im sponsored by cfn gas company so i can get the stuff dirt cheap!

i just want to know if i can run pure or even a mix to pass emissions?

I guess you know it will severely dry out your gas lines and such. You definitely wouldn't be able to run straight methanol using the stock EFI setup. Methanol has different fuel/air mixture requirements from gasoline, so the ECU wouldn't be able to make the engine run properly. You might be able to get it to work using aftermarket ECU, lines, and injectors. Seems to be a lot more trouble than it's worth, though.
