E85 with 100% meth or 50/50 meth/water?

Sorry to double post in a different forum but I would like to get some input from you guys since not everyone in here visits the Alternative Fuel forum.

Here's a direct link:
E85 with 100% meth or 50/50 meth/water?

Here's my question:

Not sure which forum this question should be in so I'll start here first. Has anyone run E85 as their primary fuel and added meth injection on top of it? I recently switched to E85 but still have the meth kit on the car.

I did some research and it seems like water-contaminated E85 forms formic acid during low temperature partial combustion. Formic acid causes rapid engine wear (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E85_in_standard_engines). I assume this doesn't hold true during a WOT pull and 50/50 water mixing with E85 is okay?

It looks like the guys at English Racing has some experience with E85/meth (http://www.englishracing.net/media/r...lishracing-evo) but I would appreciate input from anyone doing E85 & 50/50 meth/water or E85 & 100% meth.
