I had the TVS2300 and was running and nitrous with it with zero issues. The key is to have a tuner who knows what they are doing. NEVER tune a care dependent on meth. Meth is a huge safety feature if used properly. You should never look to run meth for performance but as a cooling aid. Running nitrous is not a factor either if used properly.

I think the pitting with the maggie was caused by running 100% meth. I run meth injection with my magnason, 50/50 meth and water.

Inject in your intake tube a ways down stream from your TB so it atomizes well. Can't see any issues with that.

A decent tuner can easily overcome a meth failure. Have you personally ever owned a car that used Meth?

No kidding. You'd think Meth was a stick of dynamite.

Isn't that true of anything....aftermarket injectors....fuel pumps etc? Have you ever personally owned a car that used Meth?

NEVER is your opinion....but if you are looking to go MAX EFFORT then turning to take advantage of the METH gives you a huge advantage over someone playing it safe.

I agree if you want max effort, sure you can tune your car to be 100% dependent on 100% meth and get results but in the real world we are not pro stock drivers and use our cars as daily drivers. I have 3 different tunes I run in my car depending on the purpose. If you are saying that someone needs to tune their car to be dependent on meth than that is your opinion but it is not a wise one. If you are willing to tune a car dependent on meth, than you better know what can happen if your tank runs dry or a pump malfunctions, etc.

That's how you use your car...others may use theirs differently.

I didn't say that....so it isn't relevant. What I said was that if you want as much as you can get out of the car then you will tune for Meth....it doesn't mean you wouldn't or couldn't have a street tune.

Being tuned for meth is no different than being tuned for race gas. Meth just inspires a lot of drama from people who have never used it and don't really understand it.

Huffer my car has meth on it now. Do you want to ask me again please? I use it for cooling don't delude yourself or other ppl that meth is great meth shouldt be used to run more boost or timing period. If you think I'm wrong just ask supercharged ss he blew a motor from a meth fault along with plenty of other ppl. To compare meth to injectors is just delusional. I'm not saying meth doesn't have it's place I'm saying be smart and use it wisely

IF it isn't great then why use it at all?

Says you....a lot of people think otherwise. Period.

A lot of people have blown motors for a lot of reasons but that really doesn't change the discussion at all.

Ok. That's you. Others think differently.

Shocker.

Pretty strong words sport.....clearly everyone is entitled to their opinion...even those who don't really know what they are talking about.

Anyone interested...Whipple has no issues with Meth on their superchargers....I can't speak for a Maggie.

I have a CTS V tuned and with the cam going in next week I should have around 625rwhp and just ordered an Alky kit as I've been interested and studying up on it. I plan to have pre/post boost and a nice dependent track tune for it.

Interesting info
