The north wall of my basement is currantly uninsulated. ( Well, I did pour foam beads into the block holes). I’d like to use rigid foam with an R10 rating since any space I lose will keep the car door from opening more..
Rather than nailing 2 inch thich firing strips up to nail the required sheetrock I’d then like to simply glue the sheetrock to the foam after the foam is glued to the cement block.
Any experiance doing anything like this? what glues work best and cost the least?
How much glue will be required?

Wallmate?
Wallmate is Dow's rigid foam board product, made specifically for what you want to do.
Each board's edge has a rebate the size of a furring strip's x-section, so you glue up the board, then tapcon on your fur strips, then do the wall finish.
Go to Dow's foam site and see the specs for it.
I've put up foamboard with PL polyurethane, but that's probably an expensive way to go. You could rpobably use the foam polyurethane subfloor adhesive and get much better coverage.
