I did meth on my last setup. Then i worried about the pump. Seems like more to go wrong. I guess if you need the octane go for it but I'm skipping it this time. What boost level are you at?

Meth works. But if it fails while your on it hard...your in no man's land with your engine. The only thing saving you at that point would be the knock sensors. That being said, many people use it. And it works well. I'd be careful to get too stupid with it. Don't stretch your tune to extraordinary limits where it's on the ragged edge with a massive shot of meth.

Who is going to tune your car? What boost are you hoping to run? What's your end Torque/Horsepower goals?

If tune/car is setup properly and it fails, nothing happens besides you lose power. Make sure whoever is tuning/installing knows what they are doing.

Run meth but just use a small nozzle. You don't need to tune for it long as you run a small nozzle. You will still benefit from it but not as much as you would with tuning it.

Not a clue. I have a progressive kit. It shows how much is spraying at different lbs of boost.

Look at the nozzle. Alky control is typically a m15 base nozzle for a single kit.

That knob doesnt actually control flow or amount of meth.
