meth or no?
I keep reading so many different things about running meth on the car. I'm running a LSA blower I'd Vengeance Racing blower cam.
Is meth worth it or just leave it. The car is a street car.

I believe ADM does not use it on their LSA conversions. I'd ck... Just sent them a pm and verify...

Why not? The added safety is worth it.

I agree... why not run it? I run 100% Methanol, and am not tuned for it, I use it purely as a safety measure. For what it's worth, I had the car re-dyno'd a few weeks ago, and they did two pulls: one with the Meth turned off, one with it turned on. The meth contributed about another 20HP, even though the car isn't tuned for the additional meth. I run the smallest nozzle Alky Control sells, and the Meth sprays just as the car goes into boost.

If you're tuned for meth and you happen to run out while out driving, will the car still run perfectly fine without it? It seems like a great idea, that's just my only concern about it... running out...

Makes no sense not to use it.

Isn't meth considered bad for eaton style rotors? I've been told to avoid meth as it may detiorate the rotor coating on my Maggie. Is the LSA 'charger the same style as the Maggie?

It depends on what kit you have. With a proper kit, when you run out, the car will fall flat on its ass, kinda like a limp mode. This will allow you to continue driving the car, just not at it's full potential until you refill the meth tank.
