Meth or no meth?

Getting ready to send my car to Matt at FSP in 3 weeks to get the ECS kit on my l99. Going I run it at 10psi. Debating to run meth. What do you guys think? Right now currently have all bolt ons long tube catback and intake.

Add meth, remove the restrictor plate, 700 rwhp. Enjoy.

Matt knows the recipe well!!

I'd definitely recommend meth, expecially in your hot weather.

We can send the correct restrictor for 600, with the meth you will make that number more consistently in the heat.

Some tuners dont like meth. I know Pat Guerra aka PatG does not like it and he did not have the meth pump on for my last tune. I did however turn on the alky pump to a low setting in the summer heat to use the meth as a cooler for the IAT. Pat did run the car on the dyno after the main tune with the meth on to make sure all was good. Just was a little rich and lost some power over not having the pump on.

I know Matt does like the meth so you should definitely take advantage. Just have a plan in the tune for when the meth decides not to show up when you need it.

Its PatG, he knows how to tune even if cramming a jar of peanut butter thru the intake. He just prefers not to.

I know Andy at ADM also does not like meth, but i bet he knows how to tune with it!

There's a reason some prefer not to tune with it.
