For those with meth, is your car a DD or a weekend car? My car is not exactly a DD but is not a high mileage car.

Another question for those in the 500-600 RWHP range, are the stock tires good or will I need to look into something better. Like I said Matt will be doing some PFADT upgrades but I am concerned amount my tires sticking as I don't exactly have a light foot now, I could only imagine afterwards.

With stock converter it isnt that terrible on stock tires.. Plus with paddle shift mode you can decide where and when you want the power. Now if you add a stall converter and try to launch it on the street, good luck.. But once again, rolling, you'll be fine. You will learn where and how to use the power. Just because the pedal goes all the way down, doesn't mean the foot needs to

Cam.. Ya that's definitely a great upgrade for the power and noise, but most any cams worth something will require an aftermarket converter. Up to you if you want to go that route. I'd still lean on the Kit, DOD Lifter removal, and Methanol.. Then save the cam for when you get bored down the line.. Or like sstampa said just go ahead and do it all LOL

What's your concern with using meth on a dd? You shouldn't have any. You don't use that much and if you keep it out of big boost you won't use any.

When you get to these stages you need to trust what your tuner suggests. In the end, this is what they do for a living, they know best. If Matt suggested it than for me it's a no brainier.

Customer opinions are fine, but in the end, he's an expert for a reason, and its not for doing the wrong things.

It's how he stays in business. He just makes everything so tempting by telling you what you can do in the future.

For some of us, LOL... It's ok our money goes into Mods too, at least we don't have to pay for labor or tuning that's the key

On point here Deezee.. I usually see most aggressive guys are 4-5 tanks of gasoline per tank of methanol. Turn on at 4-5psi, full spray at 7-8psi depending on the build of course.

No....not you. BTW, that reminds me, how does a sleeved 427 and Ysi sound as a solid build?
